And it's becoming more of a grind. But if you widen your idea of "journalism" (to include things that many might see as "not journalism") I think things become more interesting – and possibly better paid. I admire your optimism. Please elaborate! Partly, yes. And it’s becoming more of a grind.

Actually, though, I don't think journalism, local or national, will die. I think it will prosper. I think the number of reporters will rise in the next ten years. You watch. Things are going to get better and better. Simon – because there is no money in it any more?

Typesetting is a kind of technique, like copywriting or drawing or cooking or whatever – it's a skill. But Journalism is an attitude like being an artist to me. It's a way of seeing the world, to analyze the world and to describe it. Journalists are like scientific explorers and how could an attitude die just because the tools has changed? Hi Simon,
