All three new free daily papers are out now. It's time to give a rough overview of each, and we'll do it in order of appearance:

metro
The oldest, and the most straightforward. It's a short daily paper, running 16 pages in a slightly oversized tabloid format. The articles are pretty brief, but the worst excesses of contentlessness have been excised. The crossword is small, but not awful. I can give metro my highest praise: you would probably be better informed after reading it.
