Ads on websites earn a fraction of the amount that used to be charged for the equivalent in a newspaper or during a program break.

We might be entering a new dark age. But the mere publication of a fact did not stop a large proportion of US citizens from believing the myth that he was born overseas. It is very hard to say how many Australian journalists have left the profession over the last 10 years. This is partly because the nature of journalistic work has changed. Many now work aggregating or producing digital content, never leaving their desks.

Not least, there is this outlet — an Australian edition of the Guardian. There are also many small, specialist outlets that exist because the economics of online publishing beat the cost of buying broadcasting licences or printing on bits of dead tree, trucking the papers around the nation and throwing them over the fences.
