In an interview done by Spiegel Online International (reprinted in Salon) with Chris Anderson, editor in chief of Wired about his new book, Mr. Anderson stated that he has no need for the traditional distribution methods of news.
"But the problem is not that the traditional way of writing articles isn't valuable anymore. The problem is that this is now in the minority. It used to be a monopoly, it used to be the only way to distribute news." - Chris Anderson
"So now that you don't need this access to a commercial channel to distribute (news), anyone can do it." - Chris Anderson

Keep in mind the numbers below are the results of a Google web search and a Google blog search for the title of the book and a second search for the title and the search term interview and then parsing through several pages to find articles that include only an original interview. The articles are listed below.

and the 9,413 Google Blog results "Free: The Future of a Radical Price",
