Brilliant!
The new Monocle Mediterraneo is a shame to lazy daily newspaper publishers and editors.
Done and sold by a magazine!
What about our Mediterranean tired newspaper brands unable to profit from millions of avid beach readers?
What about our sleepy Spanish, French and Italian newspapers?
What about the Nice Matin and other horrific Mediterranean newspapers of this world?
Newspapers are not dead.
But many are really dead or deserve to die… because their brains are dead.
Death = lack of ideas.

In yesterday’s Guardian editorial, a great observation regarding to Lord Mandelson memoirs:
“The second thing to emerge is the depressing absence of any interest in ideas.
Of all the books to come out of the Labour years – by David Blunkett, Alastair Campbell, Peter Mandelson, Mo Mowlam, Lance Price and co – not a single one makes a sustained intellectual case for Labour government.
There is no passionate debate about the party’s future possibilities; nothing brave or provocative.”
A knockout message for politicians, political parties… and, yes, for newspapers too.
Many newspapers look like old cathedrals without soul.
Old bottles… with no wine inside.
And Earl Wilkinson is right too: “Empty newspaper brands don’t age like wine”
