# It's worth a go
Maybe the comp could be titled something non-specific like 'Shameful journalism', and a few clever subtle entries could slip through.

# Shameful Journalism.
I like it! It's got a lot of potential and won't annoy The Man.

# The Man loves shameful journalism.
But he lives in mortal terror of good journalism.

# You mean honest journalism?
(I helped save b3ta! Bourbon Fox Bourbon is a moron, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 0:55, archived)
# Yes. Good journalism is honest.
Dishonest journalism is bad journalism.

# Hateful journalism based on illegal hacking of a dead girl's phone is... well... this.
I think it would be an alright compo to be honest... and (mostly) space hopper free.

# It'd be a good compo. It'd probably upset me, cos I'm a hack and would expect to have my profession traduced, misunderstood and basically given a thorough kicking.
But frankly, these vile cunts have earned it. So I'm prepared to suffer.

# There's probably other journalists on here that would feel the same way.
But time will tell, whether or not this will actually be next week's compo.

We could have jumping BLUE shapes for all I know.

# Good thinking, DMH.
Although as a journalist, I'd probably find the whole thing so upsetting that I'd never go on the internet again.
Which may be a bonus for some!

# just thought of a good compo idea: "What if journalists couldn't lie"
or "Show us a world with completely honest journalism"

# Oh, for fuck's sake.
Look, I've been a journo for 7 years, and have never lied, and never been asked to.
I'm disgusted that my profession has been brought into disrepute, but please don't tar us all with the same brush, eh?

# I understand.
I'm sure you do some great work, so it's a shame there's the few that ruin the whole thing.

# "If tabloid journalists couldn't lie"?
We'd still end up tarring a few poor sods, but overall...

# Aw, man, the large majority of hacks work on local papers doing stories about planning applications and such.
I do.
These vile filth are not typical, I promise you.

# I know - hence the "tabloid" bit.
Local papers are some of the last places that do investigative journalism these days.

# At last! A bit of encouragement!
Even though I'm wholly in favour of a "fuck Murdoch" image challenge, I'm cringing in advance.
I reckon I'll have to take a week off the internet, rather than exhaust myself being defensive.

I take stick all the time, it's just one of those things.
