Given that those answering are doing so from a largely US perspective, it is interesting to note that the problems afflicting journalism there, as in here, are much the same.

The appetite for journalism is a insatiable as ever, they say, it's just the service being offered by management that's ruining their meal.

Yesterday's poll on Milne Media, meanwhile, asked the question: "Do you agree with Group Managing Editor Tom Thomson's assessment that these are "exciting times" across the Herald and Times Group?"

An overwhelming 60.9% voted 'Don't be stupid. The man's a blithering idiot. Well saying he's still in a job.'; a worrying (for him at least) 21.7% said 'I'll show him excitement if he dares speak to me ever again.'; while 17.4% got into the swing of things, saying: 'Yes. I can hardly wait to re-apply for my job. This time of year adds to the thrill.'

A new question relating to the Sunday Herald has been posted today.
