The OTOF Akubra is respectfully doffed. After half a millennium, the journalistic bastion of Fleet Street is no more.
The printing press was only 60 years old when Fleet Street became home to England's printing industry. The very name had been synonymous with news for a couple of centuries when Franklin started the first newspaper in North America. The free press we defend so fervently had its origins there.
St. Augustine, patron of printers (and my own patron), pray for us.
