Fantastic picture - the height of the jump, the body position, the eyes following the path of the ball.

Reach come in for a lot of justified criticism so congrats to this reporter and to Reach for vocally backing him up. Just a shame the article is largely obscured by ad. It’s not a pop-up either, it’s just squatting over the text.

In the Telegraph boilerplate ‘London has fallen’ piece, I have some scepticism about the author’s claim to have interviewed ‘several’ and ‘many’ homeless people, all of whom told her an identical tale that conveniently fits her narrative.

You just know the ‘punchline’ is going to be ‘send them to Glastonbury’.

Whenever the Mail uses “Fury as…” in a headline, there is rarely any real fury in the story - in this case it’s a couple of mildly-expressed complaints culled from social media.

From today’s FT mag. The gap between the rich and the rest of us doesn’t get discussed enough or attract the anger it should imv

The Mail is currently tapping a deep vein of 'life after death' stories. I guess that what an ageing readership is looking for.

The dire wolf story is a case study in journalistic rigour. Do you: 1 Reprint the press release because it makes a good headline? 2 introduce a note of caution (a ‘claim’ not a fact) 3 critically assess the claim and debunk it?

1 This is one of those stacked-noun headlines (“mushroom picking alarms forager”) that is hard to get the meaning out of 2 Louise Gather is an excellent name for a forager.

The BBC unashamedly adopting the language and politics of the Sun and the Mail in this headline.

They’ve put a tent over that damaged Paddington statue, as if it was a murder scene.

I wonder if the Telegraph realises or cares how demented this sort of thing makes it look.

Every Friday evening of late the underground car park at Sainsbury’s Nine Elms becomes an impromptu roller-skating rink. Probably a couple of hundred skaters this evening.

I was wondering which Telegraph pundit would be first to call for capital punishment but I didn’t expect it to be their recipe writer.

Or maybe what’s radicalising people is stagnating graduate salaries and this headline is just another attempt by the Telegraph to set one group of workers against another with the aim of reducing pay and conditions across the board?

Extremely on-brand Telegraph comment on a piece about greasy spoons. In the end, everything is a culture war.

In this piece today the Telegraph claims that “if your international media diet consists solely of the New York Times, you might not even know Yellowstone exists.” These things are easy to check….
