The intent of the ad, of course, is to show that your world is “always with you” when you carry the Samsung Galaxy S. And Vader, it turns [...]

Sniffing out the news!

Here’s one of the things I’ve loved about hanging around newspapers all my working life: the smell of a new edition of the paper coming off the press.

Who wants to buy Newsweek?

I’m not a regular reader of Time or Newsweek. I used to be – before they shed so much of their news magazine format and traded it in for celebrity/gossip news.
