Articles of interest

We've introduced a minor change to the way this blog works. Until earlier this week, the daily record of when the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ appears in the news has appeared as a separate blog item. Now those details appear in the right hand side of the blog.
On any given day, the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ is mentioned in literally dozens of articles in the newspapers, and for 18 months now we have been handpicking some of the most interesting. The goal has never been to provide a comprehensive list - if that's what you want, there are ways you can find that on the web. We just pick some of the most notable - and we will continue to do just that, whether or not they are critical of the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳. Doing it this way, via tagging from , will hopefully provide a more useful service to the online community. If you click on the link at the bottom of the column, marked "", you'll see the page on Delicious where the links live, along with an archive. If you use that service, you can add us to your network. You can also add an of those stories to your own blog, RSS reader or other page.
Incidentally, we plan to introduce a similar service on some of our correspondent's blogs, where they can highlight articles on the web they have been reading. And from the other perspective, if you want to use del.icio.us (or a number of other services) to bookmark your favourite pages on our website, we recently introduced social bookmarking options on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News pages (see this posting from my colleague Paul Brannan), and we hope to do this soon on our blogs.

Gosh, you people really are suddenly trying to justify your existence aren't you, now that Thompson is shining his torch around ? I'm not sure that is entirely a good thing...
Yay! Those blog posts appearing in the main list has been annoying me for some time.
So, faced with a daily series of critical news headlines, you first remove the ability for people to comment on them, then you hide them away in a side bar.
Such openness we have come to expect from the declining ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳.
You mean you will be highlighting what your correspondents have been reading too ? Like Roger harrabin and Richard Black ? Let me see....errrm 'gore is my hero' 'chicken licken' etc
The "broadcast" part of ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ is coming to an end. With all the various media, channels, stations and magazines, most news and entertainment is very specific and narrowcasted to small special interest groups. Even the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ news at 6 and 10 is limited in scope and depth of analysis with too much acting and preening. For real news and thought provoking material it has to be Radio 4, the World Service and your online website
TV and the blogisphere of amateur news people are a waste of time to the general public.
I pay £135 per year for a TV license so I can listen to ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ radio and access your website, strange but worth it.
I would like to know why you dont have comment by article, email the author, or blog on a particular article...
Where readership can directly comment on a one sided presentation and attempt to correct the record..
One particular example is "Climate change: The evidence" a very unbalanced presentation of the GW debate...the trouble all the evidence isnt presented or is inaccurate...
Is ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ part of the problem (Al Gore) or part of the solution
