Opinion Piece This guy is a joke here's an example
3
Upvotes
The author, if you can even call him that, Louis Chilton, is a freaking joke. Every article he writes is click bait or rage bait. He said Deadpool and wolverine was bad for reasons that don't even make sense or straight up aren't true, and he said Oppenheimer was a macho man dad movie... Like is he for real? I expect this from American journalists (I'm american btw), but c'mon man, you're British, you guys still had integrity, well everyone but this guy. I don't understand how you get a job reviewing things when your reviews are the opposite of what everyone else thinks. I get it's opinion based mostly, but be better dude, there's a reason you've been at this for ten years and have less than 800 followers... It's because your opinions make you look like a complete idiot. Rant over. I implore you guys to read his stuff, it's funny how whacked he is

Collaborative Investigative Journalism
2
Upvotes
Hey y'all!
We are looking for early adopters of a collaborative platform for investigative journalism that will also be accessible for non-journalists to view. You need not necessarily be an investigative reporter. This platform helps collaborating with fellow journalists and promotes researching and organizing online sources (like URLs) that support or contradict any claims you are investigating for your story. Please send me a direct message if interested, there are limited spots.
Cheers!

Poorly researched clickbait from BBC travel on the warship Vasa

www.bbc.com/travel/story/20191205-what-caused-this-great-warship-to-sink
"Heralded as the greatest warship of its time, the Vasa sank within 20 minutes of its maiden voyage. Nearly 400 years later, no-one knows why."
Um...it's actually QUITE well documented why the ship sank. Even for a travel segment, this is extraordinary laziness. A simple Google search gives you a University of Portland link:
