(I know, I could’ve pointed to dozens of other serious things, but right now the imminent demise of our only half-half-decent newspaper proprietors is a crying shame.)
Well, to be clear, I certainly already do checkout the Grauniad, the Independent, and the BBC as news sources. However, they don’t do any reporting or analysis of local news, or world news from an Australian perspective. It’s great to have them, certainly…
It would be nice if the Grauniad, perhaps, decided to buy Fairfax. But somehow Crikey’s suggestion that Murdoch would love to grab The Age (and presumably SMH) seems more likely :/
It does actually scare me how quick and blatant the cross media changes were utilised. Hopefully big name print media will become less relevant and independent online news can have a shot.

You have just committed sedition. Armed-response officers from the Attorney-General’s department will be in attendance shortly.
Seriously, we can just do what American liberals do and get impartial news from the Grauniad and the BBC.
