A blog by Graeme Whitfield, assistant news editor of the Newcastle Journal, is collecting examples of poor writing by journalists for a “dictionary of journalese”, Holdthefrontpage.co.uk notes.
So far he has taken on words used almost exclusively by journalists, such as ’slam’ and ‘tot’.
(Hopefully JournalLive will fix the incorrect links to its blogs’ RSS feeds soon, so that readers can follow Whitfield’s blog regularly!)
