Its not surviving, it's in the last throws in print form as it is which is why they're moving to charge on the net and at least unlike the print equivalent it's up to date, why people buy a paper to read yesterdays news these days is beyond me, I haven't done for years and I probably won't be subscribing to any online either if they aren't at least add free.

Speaking of the times, what a great job they've done with the iPad app combining the paper with it's Sunday sister and presumably cutting swathes of staff from the digital desk, frozen pages, pages refusing flatly to load, crashing constantly, missing pictures etc and this is what they expect us to pay for?
