Some of these comments are a little harsh although the Mail certainly seems to have lost its way. My favourite read now is The Times which has reinvented itself as a brilliant, informative publication of record with some stonkingly good writers.
Interesting comment. Thank you for the insight. Do you see a future for the printed press?
