I think the best article I saw in many a year,was in 2017...'The bum stabber of Beverley Rd',fooking priceless!!
One of you varmints put. ‘My bad’ yesterday , you know who you are ! Own up give us an I dictation of your age and if you are over 30 and don’t live in London (like my daughter) you should be ashamed of yourself. She used it on a text and was chastised because it doesn’t make sense. - ok I can be a pedant .
They have a front page article today about council tax refunds in an area called Bransholme West but quote Stanbury Road which isn't anywhere near Bransholme. Its not even on the same side of the river.
I once pointed out to the two lassses in Simpson wet fish on road that margins on the sign on the wall near the till does not contain a letter e ,to which I was promptly told to f### off
They really are slap-happy with their reporting. Shota Arveladze has confirmed last season’s leading scorer Mallik Wilks will be in the travelling Hull City party which leaves for London on Friday afternoon, Wilks has been out of action since picking up a foot problem in the pre-Christmas defeat at Nottingham Forest on December 18, but will make the journey to QPR as City look to back up Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw at Sheffield United in the capital. Last term’s top marksman, Wilks has found it difficult to adjust to life in the Championship with just three goals in his 19 games so far, though his return will be a welcome boost to a forward line once again struggling for goals.
Not a dig at HDM, just quite a funny story. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/new...news/hull-couple-demand-refund-comedy-6717960
There's the problem with trying to blindly generalise and prejudge a sector of society with ism's and skisms.
HDM's Click bait manifesto. Reach plc has announced the scheme, under which news reporters who have been with the company for more than six months will be set minimum benchmarks of between 80,000 and 850,000 page views per month, depending on which title they work for and what their role is. Journalists who fall below half of their “benchmark” number will be expected to have increased their monthly pages views by 40pc come July this year, and by 70pc at the end of 2022, according to documents seen by HTFP. Those who record less than their benchmark number, but more than half of it, will be set a target of increasing monthly page views by 20pc come July and 35pc at the end of the year. https://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/...-new-minimum-page-view-targets-for-reporters/
We only have to suffer it because idiots keep clicking on the articles, ultimately we get the service we generate.
Truth in that, but that isn't going to change, especially when they have a kind of monopolistic position. Not serving the community, but serving themselves .... but it is a business that needs clicks / views. Society is the worse for it. (Of course, nothing specific to HDM / Reach, it's how many things are nowadays).
It's the business plan twitter lives on. Readership has always been the driving force for many media outlets, as in turn that generates add revenue, so sensationalism sells unfortunately, and at the expense of relaying information and journalism. Sadly, people tend to believe the bits that suit their preconceptions, and dismiss the bits that don't. “Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.” ― Michael Crichton
