What are one supposed to do if one wishes to protest against the constant stream of pointless news? The Dutch artist Hans Bossman choose to start his own newspaper called "The newspaper without news". The first issue came out in march this year, and last Saturday the 24th, and final, issue came out.
There were not a lot of subscribers, only 26 persons, and maybe it had something to do with the content of the newspaper - or rather lack of content. All 16 pages were always completely blank!
