This morning I watched appalled as starving African refugees fought for food at an aid center and a small child was pulled to safety from under people's feet. It was 6.30 and I was in bed, with three pillows behind me, a cup of strong tea in my hand,, and my laptop, most appropriately, on my lap.A short time ago I took the difficult decision to give up my daily newspaper, and to get my morning news online instead. I say" difficult decision" because by doing so I've let down the delightful owner of my local corner shop, who depends on sales of newspapers for his survival.But the decision once taken, there are so many advantages of online news over the printed version. I choose the paper I want to begin with and there, online, are brief summaries of the main news items of the day, pictures in full colour, and two-or three-minute videos that show me the news as it unfolds. Should I desire, I can stay with one paper and read its different sections, or flick from paper to paper, noting with interest how different the news coverage of the same story can be. One thing that constantly fascinates me is that the front-page stories are often startlingly different.What one paper considers front-page news is relegated to page three in another. This is particularly true of the more downmarket newspapers, which features celebrity stories on page one that may not get even a mention in the more serious papers.Despite the above, I have to admit to worrying that as more and more people get their news online, newspapers will find themselves fighting for survival. I console myself with the thought that a weekend paper still lands on my doorstep each Sunday - I don't think I could ever give that up!1. At 6.30 the writer was _________________.
