The Times Literary Supplements in Trouble?

Following Rupert Murdochs sale of the TES and the THES
John Sutherland, prof. em. of English at UCL, speculates that it bodes ill for the future of the TLS in his recent column "Final Chapter for the TLS" in the Guardians online edition. According to the article the review magazine is running in the red and its owner, having sold off its profitable educational siblings, is supposedly looking to get rid of it.

It will be a sad day the day the TLS goes.
