Websites of interest: Ouch
The BBC's Ouch site has a lot to say on how disability is reported. Not all of it good. Actually, most of it very critical indeed. This section of the blog is dedicated to patronising and cliched reporting.
I've been working as an editor of one kind or another for ten years. At the moment, I'm a sub on a weekly local newspaper. I cut my editing teeth here back at the start of my career and then flew off to try a life at a magazine, on a website and in book publishing.
This blog is my collection of notes about wordsmithing; and thoughts about subbing. You can contact me by email or leave a note in the comments.
