HOME ⟩ London
Every time you pick up a newspaper or magazine you roll your eyes and shriek (or sigh), “Damn it! I can do way better than this! This sucks!”
Well, here’s your chance to prove it.
Snipe will concentrate on important news and arts stories that other London rags somehow, inexplicably, miss, or explore them from angles the others are (sometimes intentionally) blind to. Do we care if yet another MP is caught wearing his wife’s underwear in a seedy, squalid hotel in Earl’s Court? Only if we were drinking mojitos and discussing the impact of the world economic crisis on the price and quality of street drugs with him at the time.
There is an old saying in the journalism business that there are a million stories in the naked city. In London, there are a million stories unfolding every minute. Everywhere you look Londoners are doing extraordinary things. Some of them are doing extraordinarily wonderful things. Others are doing extraordiarily horrible things.
Still others are doing extraordinarily stupid things that beggar belief. Find those stories. That is your mission.
London City Hall, nefarious borough politics, profiles of people that we ought to know about, old London, new London.
Tell the readers something about London culture, news, or life.
