This Is This

Hi The Guardian,
 
Thanks for writing back. I was more keen on talking to Mr Rusbridger himself.
 
My readers already know a lot about blogs but it’s the world of newpapers that intrigues them. More and more bloggers are discovering newspapers and I am keen for them to Meet The Newspaperers, as this is the title of my feature.
 
The questions I had for Mr. Rusbridger were:
 
1. You actually run two newspapers, don’t you? Where do you find the time?

2. Are your employers aware that you run a newspaper? Aren’t you worried they might find out?

3. What are the best content aggregators for newspapers?

4. I tried setting up a newspaper once and found it really complicated. It took ages and in the end I just gave up. Do you have any advice for any one who want to get into newspapering?

5. It seems like a very close-knit community. Do newspaperers ever get together in the real world?

6. Do you see a time when people might actually make money from having a newspaper?

7. Have you ever met up with anyone who contacted you through your newspaper?

8. I myself have become hooked on reading newspapers and am worried about the increasing amount of time I am spending offline. How much time would you recommend someone spend in front of printed pages?

9. How did you come up with “Rusbridger” and have you considered newspapering under your own name?
 
Can you please let Mr. Rusbridger know that I am planning to run this on the front page of http://www.thisisthis.org/.

Regards,

Cliff Jones
