the sad thought is that it's probably mostly ppl who grew up w/ journalism aspirations who still long to be intrepid correspondents in a world where the press has utterly collapsed

this sector doesn't really have anything to do with anything that highminded
doesnt seem likely that stuart heritage decompensates in a panic during his oscars drinking game liveblog wishing he was writing about the sri lankan civil war
even if he does, cultural pessimism arguments don't seem that persuasive after that very lengthy and grave coates reparation article got record pageviews and serious traction all over the place

a few weeks ago, a Harvard historian had the temerity to ask if Emperor Christensen had any clothes. Writing in the New Yorker, Jill Lepore gave The Innovator's Dilemma the kind of unsympathetic third degree to which historians regularly subject the books of their professional peers.
― badg, Monday, 14 July 2014 16:11 (ten years ago) link
first paragraph shows complete misunderstanding of innovator's dilemma, didn't continue any further. econ's a social science so picking it apart shouldn't be difficult (that's why the word 'social' is there, to let you know it's not actually science) but these lazy motherfuckers aren't up to the task. it's like watching a snail fail to outrun a tortoise.

I can remember when the Guardian started following the tabloids in having shitty, asinine interviews with non-entities in the sport section but also started supplying extra sponsorship details below the article. Like Michael Owen wears Nike predator mk2 whatever whatevers because he is a cunt
― xelab, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 21:45 (ten years ago) link
Oh wow I thought this was a strange one-off. I guess I don't read the sports section that often.
― dem bow dem bow need calcium (seandalai), Tuesday, 5 August 2014 22:01 (ten years ago) link
It has been going on for years.
― xelab, Tuesday, 5 August 2014 22:05 (ten years ago) link
been going on for three/four years certainly. seems it can be difficult to get access to players these days without promising to mention a sponsor (saw journos complaining about this for cricket a while ago).
wonder if this came out of the - more laudable? - requirement to promote charitable work when doing an interview (such and such was interviewed at an away day for inner city children etc) which I assume also came from clubs/agents and appears to have been going on longer.
Not sure what would happen if newspapers refused to do it, though presumably they find it difficult to hold rank like that.

massive subbing errors in the weekend mag this week - huge chunk of cover feature missing, another chunk of same feature repeated twice. i mean, i'm sure the whole thing is available on the website, but way to go at convincing people buying the physical paper is a waste of time.
the weekend is generally a great supplement, too.

without looking I'm gonna guess it was put there with the intention of getting dozens of identical comments referring to the newspaper's own history of spelling errors

Because it's a mix of things like that, which people click to read in large numbers, and more serious journalism?
― Alba, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 00:52 (ten years ago) link
Yes, I understand the reasoning ... but sometimes the click-bait stories just seem a bit too poor - I think that can reflect on the whole "brand" (which I generally like).

she's an unrepentant anti-semite innit?
― imago, Saturday, 20 September 2014 22:54 (ten years ago) link
she no longer publishes her antisemitism or racism because eventually she might get a more serious sentence
Having lived for decades as a recluse in her two properties in St Tropez, unable to go out without being harassed by fans and paparazzi, she has developed, says her biographer, "a rather distorted view of the world", concentrating only on her foundation for the protection and welfare of animals."
the fixation on animal welfare would explain why
she also contrasted her close gay friends with today's homosexuals, who "jiggle their bottoms, put their little fingers in the air and with their little castrato voices moan about what those ghastly heteros put them through"
and
Bardot's book also condemned miscegenation
compared her own beliefs with previous generations who had "given their lives to push out invaders".[36]
said, in reference to Muslims, that she was "fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its habits".
