From his column in The Telegraph**, in which he explains why he barely noticed the BBC journalists’ strike:

I consume vast quantities of news – but almost entirely without the assistance of the BBC. I get up early and read a fair quantity of newsprint, notably this paper and the FT. But if I then switch on my computer and go to Google news, I can see what everyone is reading across the planet. I can watch stories break in real time.

Never had him down as a Google News man…
