Out of Print

3/3. Journalist and broadcaster Philippa Kennedy concludes her history of Fleet Street.
Prestige, Propaganda and Profits. The 20th century saw tabloids emerge as a potent new force on Fleet Street - but competition was to arrive in the shape of radio and television. Then came the Wapping dispute of the late 1980s and a revolution in production that was without parallel in the history of the British newspaper. In no time at all, Fleet Street was almost literally "out of print", as title after title abandoned the area. So, do newspapers still have a future in the era of satellite news and the internet?
