[bitchstewie]

I wonder how they're going to cover this given their readerships dislike of militant activists

“Striking gives you cancer!

What would Diana think?”

A good day for journalism?

[Murph7355]

Can we encourage those from the Daily Mail, Guardian, Independent and Telegraph to do the same.

Strike for a month. Would be a good social experiment.

Next we can get those looking after the Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc infrastructure to go out

Most world problems solved in a month.

Excellent!

That's at least one excuse for journalism less.

Now we just have to work on the Mail etc.

I'm torn between,

" They have journalists at the Daily Express?! "

or

" Would anyone notice? "

[dai1983]

Just replace them with a random sensationalist headline generator using the words: snow, cancer, Diana, EU, house prices, immigrants

[ChocolateFrog]

As long as the people that write the article aren't striking I can't imagine the general public noticing much of an impact.

[valiant]

Maybe they could retrain as, you know, actual journalists??

New study shows EU Snow carried by immigrants causes cancer.

See page 2 for shocking revelations from the new book on Princess Dia on how this could effect your house price.


Just stick that on the front page for the next few weeks. Job jobbed.

With spelling/proofreading like that you could probably get a job with them.

They can just get the intern to fart into Google Translate... No one will notice the difference.

One day they'll wake up to there being little to no money left in journalism and very few are going to see decent money from it.

A big chunk of the content will already be autogenerated or bought in from agencies and they're more likely to see that go up than get a big settlement.

Hopefully the rest of the media will follow. Would do wonders for national mental health and social cohesion.

Yup. My wife listens to ITV news I tend to leave the room when it’s on. I can’t stand their approach (and that of BBC and Sky too) of introducing an important issue (eg cost of living, inflation, housing or whatever) and they then find some member of the public who is badly affected by it and interview them…

I’d much rather have a proper analysis of what’s happening, why it’s happening, how we got there, options for answers, critique of various options, context in terms of other countries etc etc.
