In the UK and Australia, well, that's it... the other countries there are other newspapers one could add.

Russian papers not listed? Even though some have the world's largest circulation? Pravda, Izvestia, Trud, Komsomolskaya Pravda, and the other 8000 or so...

And speaking of Russia, Alexander Lebedev's £1 purchase of the Independent (following on the coattails of buying the Evening Standard for the same amount earlier) suggests that there are wildly different business models possible to sustain newspaper production. 

He is obviously about to come head-to-head with Murdoch's world view, which will be interesting to watch.
