The Bulletin axed - world too busy googling "Heath Ledger" to notice

THE AUSTRALIAN - AUSTRALIA'S oldest news magazine, The Bulletin, has been closed after more than a century of publishing. ACP announced the closure of the magazine, launched in 1880, this morning, saying it had become unsustainable with sales of just 57,000.

In comparison, over 400 million google searches on "Heath Ledger" were submitted in the last 48 hours.

If they'd waited one more day, The Bulletin could have run with heath Ledge on the cover and made enough to keep running for another year. At least
