Power of the press: The art of warfare
http://powerofthepress.blogspot.com/2008/06/art-of-warfare.html
Power of the press. Thursday, 26 June 2008. The art of warfare. These two examples are not chosen because either is particularly dramatic but because they are recent, generic demonstrations of the kind of questioning and answering the electorate sees on almost a daily basis. This style of interviewing is the chicken-and-the-egg question of the political media. Which came first? In his memoirs, Louis Heren, a former deputy editor of the Times, wrote that he always asked himself, “Why is this lying b...

Power of the press: Concerned of Tunbridge Wells
http://powerofthepress.blogspot.com/2008/04/concerned-of-tunbridge-wells.html
Power of the press. Monday, 14 April 2008. Concerned of Tunbridge Wells. In my new persona of angry letter writer I was pleased to see that other people from City had also written defensive letters to the Guardian about Peter Wilby's piece about social elitism in journalism. Josh Loeb, of Angry Young Man fame, and the head of the broadcast journalism, Lis Howell, also have letters published here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Websites I read when I should be working. One for the road.

Power of the press: Career doom
http://powerofthepress.blogspot.com/2008/05/career-doom_14.html
Power of the press. Wednesday, 14 May 2008. While I may be forging a reasonable path through the murky world of freelance journalism - my latest piece. Was in the Indy yesterday - Peter Wilby's doom and gloom. On the front page of today's MediaGuardian has rather depressed me. It cannot be denied that most newsrooms I have set foot in have been rather heavy on the boys but I did not expect anyone to openly say that women will struggle to get ahead in journalism in this day and age. 25 June 2008 at 10:30.

Power of the press: More independent thought
http://powerofthepress.blogspot.com/2008/04/more-independent-thought.html
Power of the press. Sunday, 13 April 2008. More tasty treats in the Indie on Sunday today. Working in personal finance has made me slightly paranoid about my financial future and I stare at bank statements, pay slips and demands that I pay back my loans with increasing horror. Maybe I should take note of my own advice. To save my way through the credit crunch or take out insurance in the event I get pregnant and think I might have twins. You thought I was kidding last week? Accusations of market abuse.

Power of the press: February 2008
http://powerofthepress.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Power of the press. Thursday, 28 February 2008. How do you encourage a victim of trauma to share the intimate details of their ordeal without seeming like a insensitive vulture? I've posted the piece below. I realised there was something wrong when the nurses started holding my hand all the time. I had found a lump the size of a large pea when I was in the shower and I had a history of cysts in both my breasts. I saw this creep of a doctor and he made me feel I was riddled with cancer. He said becaus...

Power of the press: Linking thinking
http://powerofthepress.blogspot.com/2008/04/linking-thinking.html
Power of the press. Sunday, 20 April 2008. Carrying on the (dubious) theme of using this blog simply to link to my published stuff in a egotistical rampage, I'm whacking up some more work. I spent a delightful few days playing with a lovely clever website that does all your bargain hunting for you on supermarket sites. I found this utterly genuis and wrote a rather effusive piece saying just that. I also wrote some gripping stuff about how naughty easyjet. Is, how depressed the market. One for the road.

Power of the press: March 2008
http://powerofthepress.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Power of the press. Monday, 31 March 2008. Byline Brooker = Bliss. I wrote for the Guardian is in today and I am thrilled to see it leading the section. I am equally delighted by the return of Charlie Brooker. In G2 He has been away for the last few weeks and so I have lived a life of misery. If his columns are anything to go by, so has he. His page-long rant about the new series of the Apprentice confirms my new conviction that it is officially OK to talk about my guilty pleasure. Friday, 28 March 2008.
