Paper Monitor
A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.
There is pervasive feeling of there-but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I in journalism. The journalist that revels in a fellow professional's misfortune is as unwise as they are mean-spirited.
So this special late edition of Paper Monitor will not dwell on the rather severe misfortune that might be about to befall one particular journalist and his publication.
Instead we will try and think happy thoughts.
Happy thought place number one: Daily Mail picture stories. Here's a woman . REALLY loves Twilight.
Happy place number two: Text Maniacs in the Daily Star. Some days we don't know how we could carry on without messages like today's from lagerboy: "I love Christmas, especially when I snap the tree in half and cob it in the front garden and go back to the pub." Or indeed that from Richard: "I bet kate price is well upset that chantelle houghton is pregnant by alex reid. I knew he could do it."
Happy place number three: The Daily Telegraph business section. If the global economic sky is going to fall on our heads, we at least want the news to be spread of eight pages of nutritious pull-out.
Happy now.
