That's True Dr. Dre, but that's really not news either. Journalism worldwide has been deteriorating for some years and the readers are increasingly expected to throw a much more sceptical eye over everything that they read as News versus paid PR.

Many circulars will be happy to publish for a fee articles such as this and I'm sure that Easy Jet would be more than happy to pay. There's still plenty of us talking about the article nevertheless, that's a good result from the publishers point of view.

In Autralia, the largest newspaper publisher, which continues to run at a significant loss, is owned by Rupert Murdoch and titled 'Limited News' (I could have those two words back to front possibly) regularly runs pay for space 'Journalism' and although they have a code of conduct which requires them to disclose when a fee is paid there are a lot of 'oversights' for which they are not penalised.
