There's an ancient, hand-cranked printing press in Schibsted's spanking modern lobby. Founder Christian Schibsted used this press to print his first newspapers in the mid-1800s. It stands as a poignant reminder not just of where the newspaper is coming from but where it's going. In the first nine months of 2008, the print version of the newspaper sold 290,000 copies a day on average, down 21,500 from the same period in 2007. Daily readership of the newspaper alone has dropped by close to half since 1997. Two years ago, in what seems...

Washington believes Moscow - despite its firm denials - is behind the order evicting the U.S. from its last airbase in Central Asia. "The Russians are trying to have it both ways with respect to Afghanistan in terms of Manas," Gates said Thursday. "On one hand you're making positive noises about working with us in Afghanistan, and on the other hand you're working against us in terms of that airfield which is clearly important to us." About 15,000 U.S. personnel and 500 tons of cargo flow through Manas each month, primarily to support U.S. efforts in Afghanistan...
