I read it on the Internet..

Posted on July 1, 2011July 1, 2011 by Koffdrop

..so it must be true! Worse yet, the increasingly break-neck pace of internet news reporting – and the feedback loop it often turns into – has turned even some of the more wacky conspiracies into an odd kind of accepted wisdom.

An Open Letter to Those That Write Open letters on Websites

Posted on February 16, 2011February 16, 2011 by Koffdrop

Dear Self Important Idiot, If I’ve learned one thing over the years, it’s the importance of good communication.

As 2009 draws to a close a cliched but ever-popular piece of editorial schtick is to present a list of resolutions. If you’re arrogant enough you’ll make resolutions on behalf of others. What better way to show off how you could do someone else’s job far better than them by suggesting how they should improve…

Churnalism #1: Say it with words, not pictures

Posted on July 2, 2009December 3, 2009 by Koffdrop

In what may turn out to be a recurring topic, I rant a little about what I regard as questionable behaviour in the often free-from-criticism world of mainstream media writing. These are a reflection of my views and my standards, yours may differ. Are you a regular visitor to a frequently updated web site that…
