Made me smile. Can’t think why… Or perhaps me, the Mrs and Neil can…
Of course Jeff “Link To The Rest” Jarvis would love it. Indeed, looking at Future’s deal, the big, fat, obvious question that forms in my mind is: why isn’t Conde Nast, EMAP or IPC doing this already?
Exactly. Why not indeed.
We’re not going to go round the block again.
We’re just going to try and move the debate on.

…and this week’s announcement by TrinityMirror of their first half-year results – and therein, one presumes, their explanation of how, exactly, they are going to continue to service the pension fund that caused [...]
For reasons that won’t be too hard to fathom for both our regular readers, this was all very interesting…

Not least because these days we can join some of the dots therein… that I was lucky enough to speak at www.2gether08.com which was a kind of warm-up garden party for the full-on launch of the 4iP [...]

…and calls upon them to: ‘…engage with the local newspaper industry [...]
I like Mark Potts; never met him – just listened from a distance when he took to the stage at Jeff Jarvis’ NewsInnovation gig in New York last autumn.
At which he delivered one of those lines that I have long carried around with me… talking about his experience at BackFence, he said: ‘We knew we [...]
There’s not too much to be gained from going round this block again; particularly if Trinity are getting a bit twitchy on the lawyer front – as the man from The Times appears about to find out…

Well, someone had to say it… Google bleeding this, Google bleeding that…
Don’t get me wrong; it’s a great post. Big and thought-provoking. And Mr Wyman remains a very switched on guy; even if he does now appear to work for you-know-who…

And, in particular, the evidence of Professor Steven Barnett of Westminster University and his contrary take on the proposition: “The only future for print media is online”.
“Barnett warned that the history of technological change in media was littered with wildly inaccurate predictions about the future.
