The lack of subs might well be put down to the cuts; perhaps in our Big Society we could find a few retired journalists to do the proof reading voluntarily. All they'd need it a laptop and an internet connection.
Hang on, didn't you try your hand at newspaper column writing once Ken? Also, being classically educated (Chouse/Trinity) this one could be right up your street. Have you thought about offering yourself gratis to Auntie?   |

It's indolence and incompetence in journalism, JK. Cut and paste, owt'll do, back of a fag packet, regurgitative journalism. |

On BBC News a reporter on the protests in Morocco " three or possibly even four thousand Moroccans" demonstrating - "something that would not have been possible a week ago".
I've been there; demonstrations are regular and often far more than 4000.
But that's less of a ... good story.
If the media can stir up discontent and hopefully inspire many deaths, it's a much better story.
And check the story on the BBC site where Marrakech is spelled correctly on the map and incorrectly in the story; whatever happened to subs? |
