Kelner comes out fighting again

There is an interesting interview with Simon Kelner in Media Guardian this morning.

Kelner is not a great fan of the publication seeing it as constantly sniping at his empire.

It is worth noting though his comments about the business state of the Indy titles

This on the rumours of going free and/or online only

"We make tens and tens of millions in circulation revenues," he says. "To have only one source of revenue leaves you very exposed. And that goes for the idea of online only too."


and this about the losses at the paper

He is furious about Media Guardian's use of the phrase the "loss-making Indy" when, he claims, the title loses less than many of its peers including the Guardian. It is, he says, "a form of journalism that would make Pravda ashamed".
