  • Exclusive: MI5 Journalistic interference

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, the UK’s domestic intelligence service is accused of attacking UK Journalists.

    It’s believed to happen in the North and South of the country and affects people of varying degrees of professionalism.

    It’s also alleged UK University academics are supporting the effort. They use contact with graduates to achieve interference. It leads to more lucrative work.

  • Call for information: “Beyond Facts”

    In an exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, two leaders of “Beyond Facts”, a gang that harasses people in Journalism realms, both here and overseas, have been spotted.

    Any information relating to these individuals must be passed to a relevant public body. It will be used to build an accurate case, if one exists.

  • The Americans who say so

    The American press is a hard won feature. It’s something editors believe there. They wouldn’t have their entrenched paper-based warfare without a lot of struggle in-between.

    The roll call of writers are people driven from seclusion in thought alcoves to share what they see developing on the horizon as well as settling on the landscape. However, it’s a patchwork.

    They’re forced into admitting facts. There’s still much speculation included. The type and volume of single-focused content is increasing. The visual perception of all things political is narrowing.

    It’s of interest to know who cares about it as a career. The protesters on the street clearly only want quick wins. The long form of journalism is something that comes out of the shadows of all of it included.

    There’s a diminishing of responsibility as time goes on. More and more seek their news and views elsewhere. It’s not become as holistic as some envisioned. The newsroom is a castle in the sky.

  • Americans take a firmer line to Europe

    As if confronting Trump to tell him – and the world – that being a fascist is a thing of the past hasn’t become itself a thing of the recent past, the American press are now turning their sights to Europe and trying to do much the same.

    It’s the turn of the Germans to bring out a result in their national elections, and the sights of American writers have turned to penning rebukes about Nazism on the rise of the AFD. It’s apparently the same issue with immigration and how racist it must be to speak against it.

    As vain as it may be to be employed at some press outlets today, one might wonder how long it is until they realise that politics is always a messy business, and their icons and hero’s have also fraternised with dicey figures themselves.

  • Call for information: Criminal journalist setup

    In an exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a Journalist believed to be setting herself up in Europe using criminal entities has been spotted in the early hours of this morning in Reading, Berkshire.

    Any information relating to this individual must be passed to a relevant public body. It will be used to build an accurate case, if one exists.

  • Real-world journalism

    Journalism in a big city isn’t easy, and it’s not difficult to mess it up. The lack of newer titles that sell well, reach big audiences, and draw a spectacle over proceedings is telling. The older regimes still have it all to play for. As they’ve tagged along with institutions of state for such a long time, it helps along a sense of access – and understanding.

    At the end of University, you’d imagine the top destinations of choice for students are the elite companies with perks, and salaries to match. The draw is the immediacy of important work, lure of exciting future pathways, and inevitability of a better working life. It’s a tough uphill struggle, however, and few if any find it easy to handle at first.

    The start of a journalists life is before even college in many instances. The journey to a nice desk in a tall building with like-minded people is not paved with three years of listening, typing, and protesting. The learning curve is the difficult part, and it’s really the only lengthy bit of it. Unfortunately, no one has yet invented a way to streamline our way to understanding more about ourselves as citizens.

    To fit in, and get good work out, takes more than just winging it. There are ways to get on and get even with life, but these are not under the title “The New York Times”, or “Chicago Tribune”, but found online under self-titled, haphazard, and poorly edited profile pages. They go viral, but they make cash out of clicks and not sincere interest.

    The job of getting journalism done in higher realms is not the same as a politician or any interest-based organisation, but it has its own unique culture and patterns of thought. The fitting in part happens more than once, and that’s just the day job. It all has to make sense to the naked eye as much as in your raw thinking. The balance is achieved not by being there, but by being present, and attentive to it all.

  • World Exclusive: NYT “mastermind” uncovered

    In an exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, the mastermind behind an attempt to run crimes through The New York Times has been spotted in London, UK.

    As reported by this site, his alleged attempts range from falsified reporting, petty crimes, and quote trashing, to other journalistic misdemeanours.

  • Free Speech Union memberships surge

    In a victory for freedom of speech campaigners, the Free Speech Union, led by journalist Toby Young, has seen its membership increase to over 20,000 since July this year.

  • Long Report: Journalism in a spyglass

    The so-called downfall of a top journalist is hardly good news. It doesn’t bode well that people fail at all. It certainly isn’t positive if a person of prominence does so too.

    It doesn’t mean we’re at fault as a society. It means things went wrong because of actions that were taken by individuals acting on their own beliefs and by their own design. This is the way bad choices are made and how scandals unfold.

    It can be difficult to track these things. There are journalists who spend heaps of time looking at those who are heading down a wrong path. It’s a twisting and winding journey they make and it has so many avenues at times it can go cold.

    All investigation is hard

    The way to go about tracking a person’s downward spiral is to begin with who they are to start with. It builds an appreciation of the height they are falling from. It also lays a groundwork for contemplation of what they are trying to do and why.

    It’s not as if life is tough up there. There are perks to all jobs and jobs in media have more than others. It’s a fine life so to speak for those who want to work at it and do it well. The hard graft is seen by the public and there’s time for enjoying the fruits of labour later.

    I’ve known of journalists who pull over thirty hours of work without a break and they barely scratch the surface of their story. It takes many more sessions than a first breaking in effort to bring out the real story behind a crass scandal breaking in a public person’s life.

    Due to the nature of the high life it takes a journalist into corridors of power they’ve never seen – and likely won’t see again. They’ll meet people they’ve never heard of and encounter crimes they can’t report because it’s not their story or it’s too difficult to extricate.

    The job never ends

    The life of a journalist like this is not easy to pin down. There are few examples of competent individuals because of the hours, the messes that encounters create, and the travelling involved too.

    It’s not psychologically burdensome but physically demanding. It puts enormous pressure on physicality. It’s an encounter a few have likened to their experiences in military combat. It can reach a level of tension that’s difficult to experience elsewhere.

    The truth is the job is never over. There’s always another scandal breaking or another person making their worst decision yet. It’s a career that builds on itself too because successes bring more skills and techniques to employ to catch and pin down harder-to-get targets.

    A culture it creates

    The good aspect of investigative work is it inspires others. There are chances to stop a scandal in its tracks. It may be possible to use a technicality in an employee’s contract to terminate it. It’s also possible to phone in the police to discuss a person’s behaviour.

    It creates a culture of dependence on good work. It also inculcates a way of seeing life through the lens of a work ethic. The social dynamic is hardly rewarding to those who want real information. The practical results are gained by curiosity in a diligent targeting at truth.

    The progress journalists make is felt in the rewards of having a story published or findings printed. It builds a more complete picture that brings interest. We feel we learn more about place, and ourselves, because we’re looking closer with a more analytical eye.

    The putt-offs on television with lighthearted jokes is beside the point of what it’s like to stare into darkness. A person intent on crime creates harm and causes pain. They make sure others suffer. There’s rarely a scandal that doesn’t involve a victim and it’s not always easy to get over.

  • Caught: Fake journalist

    In an exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a fake journalist has been located in London.

    The suspect is alleged to have made false claims about his credentials and shares misinformation.

  • NYT: Elementary journalism

    A new job means we get doubts.

    It’s the familiar lines such as ‘I’m not good enough’, or, ‘it’s not going to work out for me’. These are normal but they’re not meant to last.

    This didn’t happen in one particular case in New York City.

    A bunch of upstarts had begun to work for a prominent news outlet. It was an opportunity of a lifetime, a prestigious placement to obtain, but they felt too proud of their first step to see it through.

    The escape plan began to be formulated.

    They didn’t foresee the news stories coming up as being “aligned” with their worldview, or in the “same lane” as their expertise, so they planned an exit to make a go of it somewhere else.

    They picked out Europe as being a place to start.

    They landed in Edinburgh but failed at establishing a presence quickly enough. The brand of their former employer was good but not good enough to boost their chances in the Scottish city.

    So they moved and settled on London, in England.

    This is where their plan began to unravel as they soon turned to spurious methods to get their work done. The work of journalism is hard, and gritty, but it doesn’t need to be criminal for it to work.

    It did, however, and they also paid a heavy price for it.

    They retaliated and so began a descent into a sort of chaos that only besets those out of their league and out of their depth. It’s the cruel irony of repeating their first mistake and learning a hard lesson.

  • Press agent located

    A suspect known locally as a “Press Agent” was located in Victoria Station in London earlier today. His activities are under suspicion because of anomalies found in news reports written with his work.

    It’s believed such individuals work alone, for a profit-motive, and do not play a part in the industry of journalism in London, or the UK at large.
