Online newspaper in crisis.
An Australian online newspaper, The Sammy Sun Online, is in imminent danger of closure.
Earlier, The Sammy Sun reported a serious case of writer's block had affected the online paper, causing a crisis of confidence, desertion by investors and a plummet in its price on the stockmarket.
Intriguingly, despite the writer's block problem which had apparently prevented posts for a week, the editor was unavailable for comment, as were the subjects of most stories.
To avert a disaster, The Sammy Sun Online is conducting an online poll at which readers can vote on the fate of the newspaper.
