London Weekly headline writers fail to impress | Media Monkey
If its website is anything to go by, the new weekly freesheet scheduled to hit London\'s streets on 1 February , will add little to the quality of news in the capital. Headlines on thelondonweekly.co.uk include "Rihanna says assualt [sic] gave her an unexpected career boost", "Organisation calls for band [sic] in Mobile phone use" and "Lib Dem\'s Nick Clegg pledges to get rid of tuition fees". The intro goes on to describe Clegg as "leader of the Lib Dem". We know they are the butt of jokes for being a small party, but Monkey had thought the Liberal Democrats had more than one member.
