[LINK] Newspapers online

[David Goldstein]

Oh god, sometimes I wonder if people read...

I listed some newspapers and then said "the other countries there are other newspapers one could add."

As for the former KGB agent Lebedev's purchase of the Indy, there has been much speculation as to what he will do. Nobody knows for sure, except he's unlikely to make it free like he did with The Evening Standard. The paper was so cheap because it is broke and is losing bucketloads of money.

How he will come "head-to-head with Murdoch's world view" any more than any other national newspaper in the UK beats me.
