Irate journalists now have an outlet to anonymously vent their newsroom induced rage, courtesy of angryjournalist.com who offer the prompt, Why are you angry today?
I don’t know whether to be depressed or amused that in just over two weeks the site has generated over 1100 posts.
Here are a few of the gripes on there:
Angry Journalist #1067 “I’m angry that so many readers don’t know the difference between a news article, an ad and an opinions piece. I constantly field calls from readers who want to talk about that “article” that is so obviously an ad, and those who want to complain because an opinions piece was biased, and “news articles” shouldn’t be that way.”
Angry Journalist #861: “I’m angry at sources who only know two words: no comment.”
Angry Journalist #754: “Spending three days writing a feature, getting in shit for spending that long on it, and then having it bumped out because an ad got booked on the page….that royally pissed me off today.”
Angry Journalist #693: “I hate that instead of looking up how to spell something I just use another word that means the same thing. Or do I?”
Hohum.
