News & Politics

NOT JUST ASHLEY COLE & CHERYL TWEEDY. BUT MOSTLY.

Advantages: Well presented and illustrated, a toddlers newspaper
Disadvantages: Keep out the reach of children, no smut spared

...of small format giving the news in condensed form, usually with illustrated, often sensational material. broad - sheet - noun 1. Chiefly British. a newspaper printed on large paper, usually a respctable newspaper rather than a tabloid. Seems even the dictionary is against News of the World, as at the very search of the broadsheets you get the tabloids cut down to size for their cut throat attitude. I think it's time to get something out in the air ...
...role on 'Have I Got News For You?' (2002) As if the rest of what I have described doesn't sound showbiz enough, the paper does have its own two-page spread especially for showbiz in a column by Rav Singh. You know, he's one of those people that would like to have you believe he rubs shoulders with celebrities and gets incredibly exclusives but I think it's more about his ability to use an internet search. Britney Spears is probably the most frequent ...

I Have No Time for Corny Puns

Advantages: Good value if you can get a subscription deal
Disadvantages: Expensive at cover price, a bit U.S. centric

...since I started subscribing to Time magazine. I just happened to get a great offer sent through in the junk mail for a year's subscription for £19.99, including a free travel bag. It's a weekly publication with a cover cost of £2.50 so it's not hard to work out this was a pretty good deal and as a bargain junkie it was one that I was powerless to resist. All in all I'm pretty happy with what I get each week in this magazine. I do find the American ...
...thereafter can access all archived Time articles dating back to 1985, plus other articles going back as far as 1923. As I've said, it's a weekly magazine, so it's quite thin, about half a cm thick. I find it ideal for a train or tube journey. I tend to chuck it out afterwards, being a current affairs magazine, it doesn't really lend itself towards collection (especially when you can access past articles online anyhow). The cover usually corresponds ...

Review of East Anglian Daily Times

All you need to know...

Advantages: Good range of articles, saves time
Disadvantages: Not good if you like spending the whole Sunday reading the paper!

...gives a varied run-down of the main news topics each week, by scouring the main papers and magazines for newsworthy and interesting topics. It's not just a news magazine - there's also a focus on the arts and leisure, as well as plenty of random things. Its tagline is "all you need to know about everything that matters." The paper starts with a run-down of the major news stories of the prevous week. One of the nice features is that the international ...
...you some insight into where the region being discussed actually is. Another useful article is the "briefing" page, where a topical issue is discussed from a layman's point of view. There's a variety of commentary-type articles from papers around the world, though these are all rather short. The second half of the paper is given over to film and book reviews, travel articles, and possibly my favourite - the property page (all way out of my price ...

Review of The Week

The (parochial) News Of The World

Advantages: Local news, for local people
Disadvantages: It helps to have the life outlook of Genghis Khan

...was from here, y'know), is Cambridge itself. We Are Really Sorry About The Whole Jeffrey Archer Thing Cambridge (and Ely, though on a smaller scale), are pretty brazen in presenting their historical facades. After over twenty years here, it's hard for me to be objective, but there is a plethora of superb architecture to be enjoyed (if you enjoy architecture). An awful lot of tourists seem to do just that, and in summer it's a never-ending ...
...area's primary factual organ, the Cambridge Evening News, thrusts itself. 'I Read The News Today, Oh Boy...' The News is based in the village of Milton, just north of the city's northern bypass. Sited (symbolically, some might say) on an industrial estate whose entrance is guarded by a food stand bearing the timeless insignia 'Milton Kebabs', the building was constructed as a printing works for the paper in 1991, becoming its HQ in 1998, ...
