Canada Dry: Diana and the future of newspapers

Today I met with Ed Greenspon, editor of Canada’s great serious newspaper the Globe and Mail.

He’s one of the world’s more thoughtful editors who has committed his paper’s future to a strategy of quality in a world where dross is a more likely response to the crisis in mainstream media. “I turned on BBC News and the first 15 minutes was all about Diana – what was that about?” he asked. Now that’s what I call high-minded.
