  • Yes, I agree McIntyre. Brian played it very measured and handled it well. Good interview.

  • Bernie, it does seem a very low target but I guess you'd expect a CEO to keep expectations low and surprise the market later by exceeding them.

  • Great to hear about the ipad apps. Every staff member should have a company ipad!!!

  • Interesting discussion and viewpoint on digital v. press percentage split over the next few years. Currently 17% but only raising to 20% or so in the next 3 years. The comments from Brian's counterparts in Pearson and The Guardian in the UK recently have been somewhat more alarmist.
