Well, I found several articles I'd like to use in a presentation but I dont know much about British publications.

"Listen to this! According to this, all you need for an increased grant is a pkchul nmukl ftumch."

"A what?"

"A pkchul, nmukl ftumch. Don't you ever read The Guardian, Neil?!"

"What's a ftumch?"

It's a well respected left of center paper.

Even my lecturers have used Guardian Unlimited (the guardian website) as a source of news stories and editorials. They do it all the time in fact. It might lean a certain way on some issues, but its pretty objective. It's certainly no tabloid. I don't buy papers everyday, but I'd say it goes something like this:

This and the independant (maybe the times) for good reporting

the mirror for a decent quality tabloid

the sun for breasts on page 3

the star and the sport for breasts and comedy headlines

Yep. The Guardian is well respected. To give you an idea of where it fits in:

Jim Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country, The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country, The Times is read by people who actually do run the country, The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country, The Financial Times is read by people who own the country, The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about people who read the Sun?

Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits.

Oh, and for the record, it's spelt 'Grauniad'.

The Times is read by people who actually do run the country

YES! *punches air*

Well, The Sunday Times anyway.

 

[Crandle]

God, I love Yes Minister.

The Guardian is indeed a good, respected paper. It's one of the most left-wing mainstream ones I've seen, but I'm a libertarian and I still read it a lot; the editorial slant leaks into the straight news less than many other broadsheets. Some of the columnists are a bit irritating though. George Monbiot is like a survivalist's nightmare come to life.

The Sun is my bible, heed its words Tony, heed them well.




(is that how u spell heed?)

 

[mrklaw]

Oh, and for the record, it's spelt 'Grauniad'.

In other words, for our less informed brethren - do a spell check on any articles you quote - The Guardian is famed for less than stellar sub-editing.

Thanks for all the info, guys. I'll consider it when I use them.
