The inevitable has occurred.

Some smart publisher has bought The Bulletin. Sadly, it wasn’t me.

Sydney Funds Manager Peter Hall is the new owner. He also reportedly has a stake in international current affairs periodical Monocle and UK political science journal Prospect.

In Saturday’s Age ^[1] he makes the comment that he would like the new editorial culture to be “spiky, irreverent and fun, not stodgy.”

Hmmm… It sounds eerily like the Anthill Media Kit. But we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt (simply because we look forward to seeing the new look Bulletin, in its next incarnation).

We’ll be watching with interest.
