Alex, am itching to hear more; I just completed a study of weeklies in the
US (if they got online, they'd be dailies, of course), but got some info on
UK publications--showing a daily population of 132 or so, but a weekly
population of 2,007 pubs, at least according to one list-keeper. That's a
higher ratio of weeklies to dailies across the pond than here. I'd say
daily publishers might best watch their socks, if the weeklies thunder in
over the net.

Does that catch the gist of it?
