Still thinking about when the Guardian began to think of the web and tech as negative. Current take very anti online. Went back to news story when Jack Schofield died earlier this year. Found dates
First column 1983
Computer Guardian 1985
Online 1994
Ask Jack 2000
Not sure when Online supplement closed . Media in 2011 but cannot find much else online.
Without a strong tech presence the drift of journalism back to print culture is a strong trend.

Roy Greenslade on print news, will it survive current crisis? probably not.
Have now found a blog from Roy Greenslade. Not in print by the way. At least I checked a print version of the Guardian. So this is the only newspaper I get, delivered every day. The news is online only though. Greenslade confirms what seems a reasonable guess.
Newsprint, the transmission of news by ink on paper, might not recover from the contagion in what could eventually be seen as a transformational moment for the 380-year British newspaper history.
Links to Press Gazette with interesting stats on online growth but not much about print. FT doing well for online subs, they do have valuable content.
Just to repeat some previous questions
If accepted that news moves online, why not report similar developments in education? Interview with Peter Horrocks and general take on the MOOC could be updated.
Citizen Journalism as in OhMynews also could be reconsidered. If there is no budget for reporting then trusting the audience could be an option. By the way , what happened with Guardian Unlimited Talk? Trashed one Friday lunchtime with no option for reader writers to backup their copy. What was that about? Jeff Jarvis, is he very expensive to continue a column?
