This is why @badjournalism is my most recent favourite Twitter stream.
Aw, Grauniad. I love you so.

P.S. Just to illustrate how surprised I was to see the previous story in the Metro… this is a screencap from their website when I searched for the article with the term “obese”. Not only do they use the headless-fatty technique of journalism, they used the same poor stranger four times for four different articles this year, ominously increasing in size down the page! He/she is apparently the single most representative fatty in the United Kingdom.
People often take pictures as more honest than the articles in papers… It’s not often you can get such concrete evidence of fiddling like this. Good work!

How the BBC website looked when it started, in December 1997. Mad eh?
If you click on the picture you’ll get the BBC blog’s article on visual identity, which has changed drastically from this picture. I really like it, but I’m a sucker for Helvetica.

Charlie Brooker - How To Report The News
“Next, a walky-talky preamble from the auteur, pacing steadily towards the lens, punctuating every other sentence with a hand gesture, and ignoring all the pricks milling around him, like he’s gliding through the fucking Matrix.” (via bullshit)
This is so worth your time.
I am reblogging this again because it is still magnificent.
I lol’d hard.
YES I ABSOLUTELY CRACKED UP AT THIS LAST NIGHT. Flawless on every single point from the hand gestures to the nifty visual pun at the end. Kudos on the headless fatty reference!
Yuppers: I saw it on BBC4 on Tuesday and was in hysterics at the matrix comment…

I love little schemes like this. I did something more primitive but along these lines at school about er, 8-9 years ago? I may go scan it in a bit, not sure.
