Can I just point you towards Tommy “Ground Force” Walsh’s My Media is today’s Media Guardian (Free registration required).
A couple of choice excerpts:
Normally … I get my local paper, the Hackney Gazette, because I like to know what’s going on, and on a Sunday the Sunday Express, which my wife likes. … I like proper journalism, not the kind of tittle-tattle that you get in tabloids. [sic] I’ve just got back from Cyprus, where I read four books, all novels. One was the new Martina Cole, Faces; I’m not a big fan of female writers, mainly because they can be a bit flowery, but she is very gritty. The other three novels were good, too, but I can’t remember what any of them were called and I left them all in Cyprus.
(For more on Faces, read this).
Brilliant stuff.
