Oh dear
As this blog post explains in further detail, both the Mirror and The Telegraph fell for a rather obvious fake Twitter profile of convicted murderer Phil Spector, and turned one of "his" tweets into a full news story. Disappointing and a touch worrying.
Hello. Welcome to my little slice of the internet. I am a journalist and have written various freelance articles for The Guardian, The Telegraph, TES, Runner's World UK, Cornwall Today, What Mountain Bike, NewNoise.net, Mpora.com, MyVillage.com, hereorthere.com and The Falmouth Packet.
Before that I completed a post-graduate diploma in Magazine Journalism at Cardiff University and graduated with a degree in English Literature and History, also from Cardiff.
This blog is a sideline for thoughts, ideas, musings and ramblings on various subjects covering life, books, running, music, TV and so on. Feel free to add me to your blog roll if you have one and I'll be happy to return the link.
