Welcome to the board WearyOne! I was interested to read the article News must adapt to web, says Murdoch and found these quotes interesting:

He said consumers wanted "control over the media, instead of being controlled by it", pointing to the proliferation of website diaries, known as "blogs", and message boards.

Uhh...yeah, Rupert, and you're the main reason people started turning to the Internet for news in the first place--to get away from the corporate-controlled message and find out what was really going on in the world.

"Certainly, I didn't do as much as I should have after all the excitement of the late 1990s...quietly hoping that this thing called the digital revolution would just limp away.

THANK GOD he didn't grab control of the internet, too!
