Josh Halliday digests former Daily Mirror editor David Banks’ thoughts on bloggers, pay walls and ‘aggregationists’, given in a guest lecture to Sunderland University students.
Weighing in on the pay wall debate, Banks had some strong views – the choicest quote being:
“Everybody talks about paying to break through the paywall, I don’t know anyone who quite knows how Rupert plans to do this. Nobody talks about it, they just say ‘Oh yeah, well if Rupert says it then it’ll work’.”
