Notes now up on the wiki for the Sunday Times. A few cautionary notes:
The Sunday Times is not an Irish paper. It is a British paper with an Irish edition. Much of the content that appears in it was wrtitten for the British edition and is, in an Irish context, reprinted material. Some further analysis, exclusively of the Irish content might give us a better idea of it’s ‘Fourth Estate’ role.
While the ‘real journalism’ figure is astonishingly high, at 55%, much of it is inane filler which wouldn’t appear out of place in an in-flight magazine. The only thing I gave a gold star for was the high level of non-wire world news, and even a page of that was composed of idiocy.
Bearing those two factors in mind, the very high score for journalism has not persuaded me to reconsider my view that the Tribune was the best thing I read all weekend. Now, only the Star on Sunday remains to knock it off its perch.
