Changing my media diet

·84 words
English Reading

I’ve changed my monthly contribution from the Guardian to the Taz.

The Guardian is a bit weird and was not doing that much for me anymore. It’s not clear what they’re about and I’m mostly disappointed in their roster of writers.

Taz, I only read occasionally but they’re local (with an office that is practically next to my house) and they’re a lot more left-wing than the Guardian is.

I haven’t found many good alternative newspapers other than the FT which is ridiculously expensive.

Third, they got out of the way and let people contribute in their own way to the emerging tribal goals.

I grabbed the code I had lying around for last year and without too much trouble ran the same analysis for the books. The graph is not that dramatic this time though for some reason I did not read much during summer.
