    and there's something pleasure-able in touching and fondling glossy pages...

    seeing someone reading the daily broadsheet... intelligent and mature! a born leader!...
    seeing someone fingering his tablet... geek!
    (my apologies to the geeks.)
    heh heh heh.
    Oh, I love print. And I don't doubt that the better glossy mags can survive. Also, nothing like the smell of an old hardbound volume when you're reading.

    But the unwashed masses will eventually kill print through sheer indifference.

    Maybe they already saw the writing on the wall from print media and were offered a price they can't refuse...

    Probably both. I remember du30 calling on people to occupy that property. To "take back what belongs to the people" if memory serves.

    Who knows what else is going on behind closed doors. Might be another Bobby O. event.

    Is the Inquirer's impending sale a Manila Times redux?

    They don't make money anymore ... their profits are getting smaller ... advertising is now shifting online ... Facebook, Google, Mobile Apps, etc ... more effective since targeted audience ...

    Maybe they'll buy back the Inquirer when there's a more "friendly" President ...
