Journalism warning labels

Brilliant, just brilliant. Tom Scott (not ours, a British comedian) has come up with them. Journalism warning labels.

It seems a bit strange to me that the media carefully warn about and label any content that involves sex, violence or strong language — but there’s no similar labelling system for, say, sloppy journalism and other questionable content.

I figured it was time to fix that, so I made some stickers. I’ve been putting them on copies of the free papers that I find on the London Underground. You might want to as well.

Time for NZ version I think. I’ll contact him and see if he will allow me to make a NZ version.
