What the press commentators are saying...

Stephen Brook in The Guardian considers the fate of The Sportsman and reveals that one of its founders, editor-in-chief Charlie Methven, now concedes they were "probably naive" to start the business when undercapitalised. There's also a terrific piece in The Guardian by Alan Ruddock about the court dramas facing the editor of the Irish Times for failing to reveal her sources for a story about the prime minister Bertie Ahern. It involved his secret acceptance of money while minister of finance. In his Independent column Stephen Glover has found his Telegraph voice again, suggesting that the paper's most senior management figures and the acting editor-in-chief, John Bryant are at odds over the virtues of the Conservative leader, David Cameron.
