    Biz Post has already laid off a number of staff (although they termed it voluntary redundancy) and cut hours elsewhere as well as salaries.

    The Irish Times technology section will finally start publishing articles about technology and the business of technology rather than the waffle it has been publishing for over a decade now. It might also get rid of some of the wafflers and get fresh techology journalists in there.

    The Sunday Tribune will not publish a Twitter story. (Though this may be due to the Sunday Tribune going to the wall.)

    Ireland.com goes dot.bomb. Changing the Irish Times brand from Ireland.com to irishtimes.com was a seriously banjaxed decision.

    Kennedy disposed of by Irish Times managment as the impact of all those stupid decisions (Myhome.ie, various magazines etc) hits readership figures. Turning the Irish Times into a bloody commentariat rather than a newspaper was one of the worst aspects of Kennedy's tenure as editor.

    Print media suffers as online media begins to replace it in terms of credibilty and readership. The major news of 2011 will be broken online first.

    I wish! It would mean firing the current lot and getting people who have some insight, experience, and the means to communicate it instead.
