The independent directors have demonstrated their independence but despite Mr Darcey's statement it is not clear whether they believe the papers' "very difficult financial situation" could justify the changing of the undertakings. He has now challenged them to recommend how they think the papers can be made economically viable.

So nothing to do with the price of the daily paper or the Sunday version putting off customers. The online versions must also be losing money.

So many of the national papers are surviving on the largess of the owners. Make the paper financially viable, more likely they will sell it off and watch it go under if they don't get their way.

Yes though in the age of the internet the press are antiquated in comparison. Their real strengths lie in the fact that they can do stories in far greater depth than the average TV news program.
