Going down the pan au shock-a-lot, not real news in not real time but click hits about beardies. Measured journalism, a Muslamical and a sex pest to boot. What's not to like?

...and the unpaid intern has walked of. The crucial 30 minutes and they wandered off, try a few doors

Unpaid internships rig the system. Curb them, now

BTW I note the BTL comments implying that Graunid interns are paid. They aren't. I know someone who won (won!) a Graunid internship because of his journalism in the uni paper and got a few articles in the paper. He wasn't paid.

Following the NUJ’s assertion that advertising positions for unpaid interns should be made illegal, Axegrinder’s thoughts immediately turned to The Guardian.

Last month it published a blog headlined Join the fight against unpaid internships which prompted Private Eye to cry foul after noting that The Guardian advertises a ‘Positive action work placement scheme’, which offers two-week work experience slots to budding journalists.

Oh well, at least student author Libby Page will have earned a few quid from The Guardian for her 700-word piece. But alas no, Axegrinder learns.

Asked about it (via Twitter) she said: “Sadly no. Unpaid articles in my spare time whilst I build my portfolio is different to working set hours for free".

But she added: "Although that said, of course payment for my writing would be great."

I agree that unpaid internships are a problem, but for most working class kids internships paid or otherwise are simply not an issue.

This article and repudiation they were obliged to publish (scroll down) should be part of this dossier:

http://www.theguardian.com/environm...to-thalidomide-and-asbestos-in-walport-report

The Guardian article that linked fracking with thalidomide and asbestos is a florid example of what my report argued most strongly against. It confuses arguments about science with value propositions. It selected one sentence from one evidence paper, quoted it in part, and in doing so misrepresented both the report and indeed the evidence paper itself. This has been picked up in a careless fashion by other news channels and by social media and subjected to a hopefully brief period of amplification. In doing so, the article debased an important discussion about future energy supplies – and, at least as importantly, it devalues science journalism. I am glad however, that the Guardian has allowed me to express my own voice adjacent to the offending piece of journalism.

"The pontiff has emerged as a global champion of social justice, denouncing the tyranny of the market and condemning inequality as the root of social evil"

"an Argentinian pope whose record under his country’s dictatorship was less than heroic."

Not to mention his refusal to cooperate with the relatives of the disappeared for 30+ years.
