It says City AM executives claim they will distribute more free copies by the end of the year than the full price sales of the FT in Britain and Ireland. The last official audit for City AM in May was 82,459 comparied with 92,599 full price copies plus 35,498 bulks for the FT last month. World-wide the headline figure for the FT is 451,153. Jens Torpe, of City AM, is reported saying they will probably be at 100,000 copies by the end of the year. For a paper that is less than two-year-old City AM has established itself remarkably well.

Titled "The Rest of the World News" it would be just that - reportage from the developing world - copy from NGOs, local journalists, travellers etc. Lotsa travel ads, alternative kind ads, ethical projects etc. PLUS you'd grab some of that Gates dosh to get it rolling - raise and profile the issues. What do you reckon Jeff? Know any multi millionaires who fancy backing some publishing projects?
