NO EARTHQUAKE ANYWHERE THIS WEEK. FLUFFY BUNNY HAS NORMAL DAY. 25,000 BLOKES CALLED MIKE HAVE NICE CUP OF TEA. Now grip the reader's attention with 300 words and a picture on each. Now do it every day for the rest of your career, pausing only to convince the advertisers it'll sell to their target audience. (OK, I grant you the last one's a bit of a shock, given that several of them are journalists.) Read all abaht it! Mike (NUJ member). |

Now grip the reader's attention with 300 words and a picture on each. My regards for the press in general is that it is 'gutter' journalism and people on this newsgroup are well aware of who in my opinion goes into the gutter. However, we are talking of gutter press postings being added to this newsgroup. It would appear we have found another person to join the occupants of the gutter. Just for anyone's interest, one hell of a lot of people have re-booked for the 2006 World Cruise. I know this because I am already talking to some of them on a newsgroup I subscribe to. There was quite a discussion on Aurora after her first cruise immediately after all the press and TV coverage and one of the subscribers contacted the press and asked if they were going to report on the recent successful Aurora Cruise, "If it went well we are not interested" Yes the gutter press will only look for the bad news as I said after Barrowcloth's posting. Perhaps she worked in the press once and has been indoctrinated in their ways. Mike |
