It's a revolution that's happening actually very quickly. It reminds me of music, you know, when it went from vinyl to digital. Everyone thought it would take years. Actually, when it happened, the revolution came very quickly. And you're seeing the same with newspapers. I used to be a newspaper editor for many years in the U.K., Print versions of newspapers are basically dying out very quickly.
The digital versions will survive for those who work out a good digital strategy. But this is all because young people, they live in a digital world, as you know.

four years of Donald Trump's term in office. So I think that everyone's working out what their future game is going to be. But if you're not in the digital space now in the media, then you are frankly a bit of a dinosaur and you've got to wake up. You asked me at the start whether...
