Mediawatch: 'JLSgate'

  • December 15, 2008
  • Popjustice

Just a few of the headlines covering last week's concert by JLS in which, er, five people were injured.

Can you guess which headlines come from which pub­lic­a­tions?

Well, amazingly, every single one of those is from the SAME COPY OF ONE PUBLICATION. Step forward, The Croydon Advertiser, who managed to splash this story — five people hurt, remember, one of them treated for a poorly hand — over pages 1, 10, 11 and 12. It's local news reporting at its very best — we think our favourite is 'Agrophobic's horror as nightmare unfolds' which tells the story of "a grand­mother with a fear of open spaces" who "has been left trau­mat­ised after a first tentative trip beyond her street ended in disaster". "It was not Fairfield's fault," she notes. "It was The X Factor's."

Amazing.
