Bill - wanted to clarify a couple of my points in response to your comments: The Economist is the one beautiful exception - it defies all the 'rules' touted by many as the secret to successful online journalism by charging for online content and having a broad brief. It's excellent content equalled by few others and targeting an affluent, highly-educated audience prepared to pay. I don't think this will translate to many Murdoch mastheads! Agree many journalists are defined to bloat because most newspaper writers only make lip-service contributions to their websites apart from the 'shovelware' of newspaper content online. New media is just that - journalists telling their stories through audio, images, video & multimedia - not just 1500-word news & analysis pieces. It's time for journalists to become multi-platform media entrepreneurs, not just 'writers'. Thanks for all your comments so far…

Yes, agree. 2. Yes, but successful paywalls will change this. 3. Don't agree. It can be profitable. For example think of cable news channels and The Economist - both manage to sell news with a side serving of advertising rather than the other way around. 4. Define bloat. Most journalists are already reduced to 'churnalism' theres not much room for cutting staff further and maintaining a real news agenda. 5. Yes, but only up to a point. I’d mark this as follows:
