Journalism Warning Labels …
News You Definitely Can Use

A self-described British geek comedian named Tom Scott is making available for printing on standard Avery labels a series of poignant “journalism warning labels” poking fun at what too increasingly these days might otherwise pass as real journalism.

This is one of those stories where seeing is believing, where an image is worth at least 1,000 words, and where writing about the contents just can’t compare with seeing them on your own. Click here to see them — Examples: “Warning: This article is basically just a press release, copied and pasted.” and “Warning: Journalist does not understand the subject they are writing about.” — (or here for the pdf).

And have your printer online and your Avery # 5160 labels, or equivalents, loaded.
