The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Youdon't actually need to be able to put one word after another in any kind of meaningful order to make a decent living as a professional writer, thanks to the existence of magical creatures known as subeditors* (such as wot I am). One of the titles I work at occasionally has a full-time feature writer who is barely literate, and regularly displays a complete inability to grasp the most basic concepts of their supposed field of expertise. But you'd never know it to read anything that appears under their byline.
* We also basically write the horoscopes, by the way.
