I wonder how much of this discussion will be focused around new-media v’s old-media. To be honest I can’t remember the last time I read the paper hoping to find out what is going on in the world – most of the Australia papers are little more than light comedy relief. Most of my news, current affairs and technology information comes online from one of my countless rss feeds. If I can’t subscribe to it I can guarantee I’ll only look at it once.
Personally I’m looking forward to this discussion and would encourage others to attend:
