"You could argue that newspapers provide a vital service," he said. "It's the same issue, whether the state should intervene in certain issues to help preserve a service. That is what every piece of welfare economics is based on."<br /><br />The media has suffered declining revenues since the onset of the economic downturn, which led to the worst advertising recession in living memory. Since then, many media groups have been looking to alternate sources of revenue, such as charging for online content, to make up for the decline in advertising.<br /><br />Sir Martin cited The Guardian as an example. "In the long-term it can't go on losing money," he said. "So let us say, hypothetically, that The Guardian could not continue to lose money after a certain period, then you would have to think about whether the Government should subsidise it, or whether you give tax advantages to people to subsidise it."<br /><br />He added that in thinking of models to bail out media organisations there were "plenty of ways to skin that particular cow".<br /><br />http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/press/governments-may-bail-out-newspapers-says-sorrell-1887597.html<br /><br />'Let's have a thread.....'<br /><br />chuckled the cynic<br /><br />'IN PRAISE OF..............

You know, somewhere we could hang out, drink wine, smoke, post on CiF and admire the passing eye candy in our dotage. Oh yes, and a butler to cater to our every whim as well. The lads thought they might have a similar retreat further down the beach.
