An attention deficient writer living in a world of distraction.

What I learned about #microblogging during my journalism assignment (a lot), and my experience of Live Tweeting the New Media Writing Prize awards (exhausting!)

I've been having adventures in multimodal storytelling, and have learned a lot about why it is so essential to journalism in today's society. @AdobeSpark helped me create magic for Instagram Stories.

"Detectives have solved a five-year mystery after two "good Samaritans" came forward"
Not really detectives solving it, is it?

My main question here is... Why???

[Sky News @SkyNews]

A diver has set a new world record for the length of time spent sitting in a barrel at the top of a pole.

Vernon Kruger has been sitting 80ft in the air in a barrel for more than two months, breaking the record he set in 1997.

This is the way to use social media. The story has gone that Frankie and Bennys has a misspelled sign, and Lycett complained. F&B now want people to tweet the sign... Publicity all round and a positive attitude.

[Joe Lycett @joelycett]

Hi @frankienbennys - I’ve got some people to take a selfie with your appalling spelling of parmigiana like you asked. And I definitely encourage the nation to reply to this tweet with their own versions. Go for your life twitter. Go for your life.

It's hard enough to deal with a parent with cancer without the media needing to be informed too. My heart goes out to them.

Being a female brand doesn't automatically mean that it is a trustworthy brand. Remember that language is used to make us think in a certain way, so always query what else could be there.

I wonder how ethically this diamond mining was, or if lives were lost to get it.

@LIS4G33 @JoanneLimburg more an incompetent cat tbh

My struggles with finding my voice for this blog led me to look at styles of different types of journalism, and advice from other journalists including @realBobWoodward. #journalism #writingadvice

@LIS4G33 @JoanneLimburg Mine sits for ages waiting for them to come back out, when they legged it ages before. Wash has also spent an entire hour attempting to kill a spider, only to have it stroll across the room afterwards.
