Never miss a note with a Simon Heffer RSS feed
April 30th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Journalism
It amused Journalism.co.uk to read on Media Monkey this morning that Telegraph associate editor Simon Heffer’s infamous ‘style notes’ are now available as a RSS feed.
Particularly like the use of the royal ‘we’ in the most recent memo, dated April 29:
“We have been rather prone to factual errors since my last notes (…) We are still plagued by homonyms. We called Sir Billy Butlin the ‘founding farther’ of the holiday camp. We had heroine for heroin. Somebody was quoted as saying “I’m hear to apologise to everyone.”
