Integration, regulation and circulation are foremost in the minds of Britain's media commentators. Peter Wilby in The Guardian is not enamoured with the multi-platform offerings of the Daily Telegraph, a paper which is suffering from "turbulence" as it embraces a new culture. Peter Preston in The Observer points out that the Telegraph's move towards integration is underpinned by a belief that its online content will help build newsprint sales while rivals are plotting "an orderly, managed migration" to a screen-based future.
Stephen Glover in The Independent is worried about the introduction of a privacy law "by the back door". Peter Cole in the Independent on Sunday doesn't see much point to the media, culture and sport select committee's inquiry into press self-regulation. Oh yes, and he takes particular exception to "one commentator" who has claimed that "newspapers are going out of fashion in Britain." That, he writes, "is demonstrably absurd." So that's put me in my place!
