Murdoch reads Fleet Street's last rites

As Reuters becomes the last news agency to leave Fleet Street, in rolls Rupert Murdoch to give the last rites. According to Media Guardian, "The News International boss is to read the lesson at the journalists' church St Bride's at an afternoon service [today] commemorating the departure of Reuters, the last major British news organisation based in Fleet Street." Both the Guardian and The Independent offer interesting overviews of what was long the functional and spiritual home of the British press. The Independent includes a fascinating section on "The drinking, the socialising... and the stories."
