Thoughts from a Bafta nominated Podcaster, Blogger, Writer and Commentator.
Of course it wouldn’t be news if you said you were going to build a fourth ‘Olympic’ class vessel, if you were going to mention it’s a rebuild of the Brittanic (sunk by a mine in 1916), or  the Olympic (retired in 1935 after 24 years of service). Far better to say it’s a rebuild of the Titanic, call it Titanic 2, and then invite 1000 of the word’s most famous celebrities aboard for the maiden voyage. What could possibly go wrong?
Is it just me or are the brand protection rules around the Olympics just there to make sure nobody upsets McDonalds and Coca-Cola? Competitors may write only "first-person, diary-type" entries but should not act as reporters… Postings deemed to be for commercial purposes will not be permitted. Right, so what if an athlete posts to their website running Google AdSense? What if their tweet becomes news thanks to it being quoted by a blogger who’s story is then lifted (without credit) by the Daily Mail? And how do you define what a reporter is? Or is this a nice public
