In the early days (when Gareth Powell "worked" as a "journalist"), there was a very high volume. But he lost his job at the SMH largely due to plagiarism, which was exposed on Mediawatch. This news group had something to do with that. Maybe nowadays the group could be dedicated to the misbehaviour of shock jox. Except they are a product of their times and insipid prejudices...

Sounds good to me, or we could use this group. The name might become synonymous with crooked journalism. regards PS In article <apqhoc$cvu$1@spacebar.ucc.usyd.edu.au>, Greg Rudd <grudd@mail.usyd.edu.au> wrote: |--->>> "tom.osborn" <tom.osborn@bigpond.com> wrote in message |--->>> news:2LYv9.66236$g9.185703@newsfeeds.bigpond.com... |--->>> > In the early days (when Gareth Powell "worked" as a |--->>> > "journalist"), there was a very high volume.

Gareth managed to average about 40000 words a week of material on computing (well, usually naive users of Windows, if that's not an oxymoron), and travel. Some of his material (notably in contrived letters columns) was not original to Gareth. Compare that to Anal Jones or Telstra Laws! Tomasso.
