Is newspaper the right word for the future though? Reading habits have changed – there were many who said nobody would read news off a screen and they were oh, so wrong.
News yes but paper no. All we need is someone to create the excitement of the paper version and transfer it to the web.
It’s only a matter of time before someone gets the model right – go to it Stewart….

Amen!

I’m on the inside of the place you’re on the outside of now (hence “Anon” – I’m still a cowed member of staff with a mortgage and family to support).

I suspect the 30% profit margin and the churnalism were the straws that broke the camel’s back.

To pool the Scottish talent, resources and, most importantly, the budget to stick the heid on the big boys would be a beautiful thing.

Fantastic post that ought to be published in all of the aforementioned walking corpses.
