In terms of supplements in newspapers, for example, property supplements - Mr. Browne said he edited an education supplement - has it become the practice and is it a new phenomenon that supplements are about telling the story of the commercial interests relevant to that or is it a critique? Is it a cut and paste thing from the brochures of the corporates representing those sectors or is it an investigative critique suggesting that one should go to college A instead of college B because, buy house A instead of house B because, as perhaps it should be? Does Mr. Browne feel that it has become a scenario where it is cutting and pasting more from the brochures of the corporate world rather than the kind of professionalism in journalism that he referred to earlier?
