Mild surprise emanating from Telegraph Towers that the Seiken Scenario to Save the Scandal Sheet of the Shires, to drop the Tory from Torygraph, has passed so far without comment from the pens of various columnists.
Maybe Sunday will bring views. Jason sees the brand's future as a sort of journalistic Frommer's, a digital vadmecum, without political slant - the slant will be left to wither away with the print edition. Content will emerge from a community of journalists, rather than be directed from a newsdesk. Seiken hopes the exit of daily editor Tony Gallagher is sufficient to encourage the remaining senior hacks (many of who have Mail cvs) to come with him on this voyage of political neutrality - even through the normally dyspeptic waters of European elections, where the Telegraph's digital face will, apparently, show no scorn or side.
To encourage them further, the various grand offices around the edges of the giant newsroom are coming down - offices which housed trophies, veneered desks, Tony Gallagher, and others still employed. No word yet on what replaces them....
