Stephen Glover in The Independent:
Newspapers are dead or dying, we are told.
Why, then, is Rupert Murdoch, the most successful media proprietor in the world, investing £650m in state-of-the-art presses to print the Sunday Times, Sun, Times and News of the World?
New presses have already been installed in Liverpool and Glasgow.
From next month by far the biggest plant, at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire, will be fully operational with new German-made, high-speed presses that can produce colour on every page. Broxbourne will be the biggest print facility in the world.
Apart from Terminal Five, it is said to have been the largest building site in the country in recent years.
From 2009, News International will also print the Telegraph titles.
