Rupert Murdoch has faith in newspapers if a report in The Independent is anything to go off. Stephen Glover writes that the News is investing £650m in state-of-the-art presses to print the Sunday Times, Sun, Times and News of the World. This is good news around a business model which has been the subject of plenty of doom.

    What the story does not tell is the 2 years of disrupted distribution that the transfer of sites is going to deliver in the UK. We have suffered 5 reruns on the Sun in the past 2 weeks.

    The worst I have ever known. I will be doing a post on the problem soon.

    Steve, you’re right. Any new plant has dreadful bedding-in challenges for down the line businesses.
