Things are happening so quickly in the newspaper world, it's hard to keep up. Last week it was the launch of two new free newspapers in London (and lord, you can't move in the capital for purple-clad merchandisers thrusting sheets of paper). This week, it's the Telegraph's announcement of its digital newsroom strategy. The plan - brainchild of managing editor Will Lewis - has got a lot of people talking and Cristina Odone unpicks the implications for us.

If you were a fan of Doctor Who, then the BBC hopes you'll like its revival of Robin Hood. Lots of handsome young men in tights, and plenty of swashbuckling action. But is it any good? Find out as I report from the press screening in London this week, including interviews with stars Jonas Armstrong and Keith Allen.

There has been a media frenzy in the US over the debut on CBS of Katie Couric as America's first sole female news anchor - Jeff Jarvis says it's the last throw of the die for a network living in the past. Plus Gareth McLean on the pictures of Tom Cruise's baby.
