The whole point is the sheer anarchy of the internet which means bloggers can go where no paid journalist on a newspaper fears to tread. Or at least one under the thumb of an editor.<br /><br />It is the end days of newspapers as we know them and no-one, absolutely no-one is going to pay hard cash to read rubbish about Jordan what's er name. They will pay for info like the Wall Street Journal but Rupert better forget about the news Of The World being an on-line success.<br /><br />These are my predictions and from my perch the future is not rosy for the print industry, unless R.
