Looking at the past few posts I think we're getting a bit sidetracked. In post#1 I asked about which papers kept us best informed about "important news events". Maybe I should have defined that a little tighter - I'm thinking about the political issues of the day - v. pertinent at the moment obviously! - stories like the Rover closure etc. Whilst I appreciate people may well be interested in Britney Spears' pregnancy I personally wouldn't class it as an important news event.
Hopefully that clarifies my reasoning for starting the thread.
As you were!
