Some of my friends and colleagues, including George Dearsley, Andy Drinkwater and Frank Wintle, run 'handling the media courses'. They teach politicians, chief execs and others in the public eye how to deal with the ruthless questioning by media terriers such as Jeremy Paxman and John Humphrys. They show them what to expect, how to do their research and what not to do and say. It is an interesting way to make a living … but is it really necessary? Well, watch this amazing video here and draw your own conclusions. Enjoy.
Thanks to my old pal George Dearsley for spotting this one. One of the basic rules of headline writing - look at the picture first! As George says sack the headline writer - or the picture editor. Or maybe both.
Good spot from our old friend George Dearsley. John Terry holding a copy of The Sun with a headline that says 'I've lost my wife and let my family down.' It refers to Tiger Woods, of course.
