Slow News Day

You know you are struggling for news when, as an editor, you will publish just about anything to bolster your publication's sagging arts content , particularly in the overstuffed "Sundays" that come with more supplements than an olympic athlete.

Such was the case with the Sunday Times on September 4th that chose to run the baffling story of Darcy Bussell recounting two, yes two, car crashes, if you can call them that, she had recently and in the dim and distant past.

If ever there was an argument for a complete overhaul of arts coverage in the press this 'story' would be a compelling piece of evidence filed under 'Exhibit A M'Lud'.
