    And turning it into a non-profit org? Isn't that the same idea The Wire guy gave in front of Congress last week?

    "And possibly even to buy it," the testy copy editor said, shaking his head sadly.

    haha. I also wrote "Geffin" when I started the thread. So that's two edits in like 10 minutes. Nice.

    Thanks for pointing that out.

    With this possible move, and Murdoch announcing News Corp is going to a pay model online, is this potentially a new direction for the media industry?

    It appears the ideas that have been floating around for a while are going to get a shot a seeing if they are manageable.
