All of this, however, fails to impress their rivals over at Encyclopedia 
Britannica. During a 20-minute conference call, two of their most senior

Editor-in-chief Dale Hoiberg is no less damning: "People write on things 
they're interested in, and so many subjects don't get covered; and news

Coronation Street is twice as long as the article on Tony Blair."
