Aviation Journalism

Abstract

TODAY in Britain, bigness is worshipped as the only god. Successive Ministers — each one more immune from aeronautical enthusiasm than his predecessor, each one driven forward by an implacable civil servant — have glued together many small aircraft firms to make two or three big ones. Because these groups are big the government and many other people think that they must be good. In the same way publishers tend to believe that bigness is best. The formerly independent publications have been merged and merged until they squeak. And now the results of the merging begin to appear. In essence they are the same for the publishing industry as for the aircraft industry: a diminution of interest in the article produced.
