London council to ban free newspapers if they don’t recycle

Westminster City Council - which controls much of central London - has voted itself new powers last night which could ban the capital’s two free newspapers from being distributed in the borough. According to the council - around 20 tonnes of free papers end up as street waste every week in Westminster, and it costs the borough £111,000 (EUR 164,065) a year to deal with rubbish.

The publishers have been given one month to agree to ‘a voluntary scheme where they run their own cleaning operation to ensure their waste does not deface the streets’. If an agreement can’t be reached within the next month the council has said it will bring in new rules requiring the publishers to acquire a permit to distribute. (Press Gazette UK, via EJC)

EPIC 2014 - future history of the media by Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson in 8 mins of streamed video/audio will probably leave you with more questions than answers.

There’s two things that struck this moderator about this recently;

1. Is Robin Sloan a younger brother of Arvin Sloane (ALIAS) perhaps?
2. This now-classic produces only 45 hits Ireland restricted google searches (the irony of testing its popularity is not lost on the moderator).

And for deserts:
