Y Byd: the latest
Anyone who choked on their cornflakes when they heard Andrew Marr quizzing Ieuan Wyn Jones about the demise of the Welsh language daily newspaper venture, 'Y Byd' the other morning may be interested to know that bids are now in for the £200,000 the Plaid Heritage Minister, Rhodri Glyn Thomas, did manage to find down the back of the Government's sofa to support a Welsh language daily newspaper.
They are: Llanelli-based media company Tinopolis, Trinity Mirror, Golwg, a new company set up by former broadcast news journalists (names vague but some of you may recognise) and Dyddiol cyf, who were behind the original 'Y Byd' venture.
Despite the speculation then, no bid from weekly paper Y Cymro, the Cambrian News or media company Boomerang.
May the best bid win and deliver something I want to read.
