Abstract

This article explains that London, England is in the grip of a turf war between the U.K.'s heavyweight newspaper publishers. In the red corner is Rupert Murdoch's News International; and in the blue corner, Lord Rothermere's Daily Mail group, Associated Newspapers. Ordinarily this would be a joy to watch, in the hope that one would deliver a fatal blow to the other. Soon to be added to this is a free afternoon paper to be distributed, like Metro,But this time the stakes are too high to get any enjoyment from the dingdong. At risk is the future of the British press, which for all its wrongs has been a mainstay of our system of democracy for centuries. But the rise of free newspapers means that hundreds of thousands of trees are pulped each week to provide us with disposable paper.
