Say good bye to the Drum (ABC opinion and news analysis)

Well it looks like the commercial media has won this battle:

"The ABC has axed its opinion website the Drum in a cost-saving move that is one of the first significant decisions in the reign of the new managing director, Michelle Guthrie."

"The Drum has been repeatedly targeted by News Corp Australia and other publishers, including Crikey, as taxpayer-funded competition to commercial media."

I personally will miss the drum i found the quality of analyses generally higher then the pay sites, hopefully they will not shut down the nightly TV show as well.

The drum will be gone in a week, have a read while you can!
