My Opinion
Just like all the major newspaper corporations the Telegraph are just trying to defend themselves in whatever way they can in this drop of the news institutions as things like citizen journalists take over pushing them out of the business. Personally, this is the right thing to do as competition is tough and if they do not defend themselves early then they are more likely to be pushed out. Having said that the Telegraph protecting their future is good but they need to ensure that they think outside the box in order to stay afloat.
