Paper Monitor

11:12 UK time, Thursday, 31 May 2007

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

It's Day Four of Team Telegraph's modern life makeover, and Paper Monitor is already feeling reinvigorated. So what's on the "to do" list today?

"Bikini babe or one-piece wonder?" asks fashion expert Hilary Alexander, pitching herself square in the middle of the dilemma that presumably faces Telegraph Woman before she flies off to her exotic destination. "Your mirror will provide the answer; don't ask a friend." Go sister...

Presumably, if the answer is one-piece wonder, you could turn to Professor Ben Fletcher, who is not actually a fully paid up member of Team Telegraph, but has a book to push called The No Diet Diet, so is granted honorary column inches. So Prof, how do I get to be a "bikini babe"?

"Draw up a list of situations in which you'd like to apply… different thought dimensions… Each day, apply a different thought-dimension to how you interact with one of the people on your list." And so follows a series of steps that concludes with "social intelligence". "[It] is about helping society in general."

It's not the most obvious way to looking like Keira Knightley at St Tropez.

Leaving the Team to their own devices, something of a backlash seems to be brewing about coverage of the Madeleine McCann case. The Telegraph lines up two writers in a head-to-head on "Are the McCanns playing it right?"

The Times refers to the "inevitable press conference" after the McCanns met the Pope.

Back at Telegraph Towers, they've cottoned on to a thrilling new craze: "tombstoning" - that is, jumping off a high rock into water of unknown depth. It's "dangerous" and a practice that has led to a "string of injuries and death" the paper, which usually laments the days when boys were free to play dangerously without the interference of politically correct health and safety busy bodies.
