I was going to blog about the Thomson’s renewed interest in The Globe and Mail yesterday along with the other newspaper stories, but rumours of the sale of the paper have been swirling since Mr. Monty left the scene. However, combined with the announcement the sale of BCE’s e-commerce company and the improved financial performance of Bell Globemedia, maybe the Globe really will have a new owner.

Like many newspapers, the Globe experimented with electronic editions — essentially PDF duplicates of the print edition — and like Slate editor-at-large, Jack Shafer, I’ve never understood them. He however, had provided a much better critique than I’ve ever been able to muster.
