Art, media, opinion and ideas
I've been asked this Saturday to come on to Taste, Newstalk's 'what's on this weekend' programme to talk about the early editions of the Sunday Papers. We'll only have the front pages, and it might all be legitimate high quality journalism but if you'd like to hear some Paper Round style reader's opinions tune in at 8. 45pm, Saturday evening.
When you're too slothful to flesh your thoughts out, why not just print the headlines? Irish Times prints photo of Saddam's Corpse- On Weekend Review front pageThey either are running with it or they're not. If they want to run it, its the main image of the week and should be on the Front Page. If they don't think that's suitable, they shouldn't run it at all.
Weekend HeraldOriginally uploaded by Editor_Tupp. Rather a dull affair again. (Wiki Raw Notes) Like eating potato waffle after potato waffle, reading the Herald is journalistically un-nutritious, without any of the racy deep-fried-mars-bar lunacy of a full blown tabloid.
Paper Round: The Indo's Response? Originally uploaded by Editor_Tupp. For all our education and enlightenment, I thought I'd highlight this slightly peculiar article which appeared in Thursday's Irish Independent. (brought to our attention by Travors.
Sunday Independent, 12th Nov 2006 Originally uploaded by Editor_Tupp. As many will know by now, having been linked to from Bloggorah of all places, the wiki notes for the Sunday Independent are complete.
I'm aware that I'm being shown up by my fellow Rounders, but I intend to catch up with a mighty burst of Raw Noting this weekend. In the meantime, I'd just like to drizzle some half finished thoughts onto your screen. Mostly, what started out as a bit of a lark has ended up being a bit more serious.
Sunday Tribune Originally uploaded by Editor_Tupp. Raw notes are up on the Wiki for the Tribune. The best paper I read all weekend, and it's still only 23% journalism.
Irish Independent, 11th Nov 2006 Originally uploaded by Editor_Tupp. (Tabloid Edition)One of the dullest papers to do the Raw notes for. However, some points to note do occur.
Irish Examiner, 11th Nov 2006 Originally uploaded by Editor_Tupp. My notes on Saturday's Examiner are up on the wiki. There were lots of re-prints, a huge reliance on PR, and precious little journalism.
Well we're stuck into the raw reports now, and no mistake. But while we regroup and gird ourselves for the big push to the next level (who knows what surprises the Sunday Indo will have for us?) I thought I'd do a simple bit of linking. In truth, I've been doing research anyway for the essay that will eventually emerge from all this raw info.
