For those of you fed up with working in print media in the UK this might be your dream job which was sent to me by Stephen Tait from Down Under.

There is something about Jade Goody that demands respect. Well, I think so. OK it’s easy to knock her apparent obsession with being in the media eye but give her due respect – it is her job, her income stream and she works hard for it.
Jade Goody is a brand and a lot of people like it. Myself included. Sure, it’s not Chanel. She lacks what posh people would call ‘class’ but she has a sense of style that I admire.
She’s dying though.
And here’s the rub. She will get a mixture of praise and shit from the media over what remains of her life and she will command column miles; never mind inches.
But, if you saw her programme, like I did, on Living TV tonight you will know that she is a public figure worthy of respect.
Do you recall, did you see even, what must be her lowest moment on Big Brother when she was co-erced into stripping off? (I think she was duped in a game of strip poker.)
It was sad, and arrogant of her fellow house mates. But I think she has learned a lot since then and not in a way that loses any of her, still, naive charm.
Jade Goody is a good person. Let’s hope what remains of her life touches some hearts and that she dies with dignity and at peace.

I’ve been asked to be a blog contributor on All Media Scotland, a website that targets the Scottish media community. So far I’ve made three contributions.
This is the first.
This is the second.

Although an unpleasant subject matter I was asked to allow my blog post on 1576 to be subbed for use in All Media Scotland. If you don’t read i, you should. It’s a good view on life in Scottish media and Mike Wilson is doing a good job there.
I think you’ll be able to read it by right clicking on the image and clicking on view, you can enlarge it to read it with the magnifying glass icon. It’s easier than it sounds… Alternatively just go to the source, here.
