Journalism, Tories and a voucher for readers
Returned from Belfast yesterday after an interesting interview for my writing project.
It is a curious place - passing the more upmarket areas of the city and looking at the busy lunchtime streets and new construction projects, you would not think it was a city that has seen such horror, pain and violence.
News of the Tory leadership election receiving a lot of coverage on the BBC TV news and Radio 4. Elsewhere in the media, Wednesday's Independent had a front page story on China and the impending environmental time bomb there.
Today's Independent has coverage of evidence of global warming in Alaska. It is the type of report I would like to write myself one day.
It is worrying how the mainstream media scrum clamoured to cover the Tory leadership story - which in light of the above environmental stories just hardly seems that important.
Where is the debate on this issue? Who has answers?
I received an email today that seems to originate from this website - the email is quite text-heavy, but I sympathise with its sentiment.
Finally, I have a little treat for anyone who is reading this. Perhaps I should qualify that by adding if anyone is reading this: a € 3 voucher on the Magazines 365 website
