Stilgherrian , debonair blogger and Twitterer and Crikey citizen reporter, is doing stuff for ActionAid Australia.

As per the title, 140 in 2009 gone, kaput. For any of us who got our start getting high on newsprint and printers' ink (legal but so addictive that at 16 I preferred reporting from 3-11 at The Pottstown Mercury to going to the drive-in to meet boys), the transformation from packed newsroom and the ca-thunk of presses churning out papers to sitting alone and googling for sources--while
