How journalism works

Another completely channel unrelated thought - but a recent article said that Footballing WAG Coleen McGloughlin has described herself as a journalist. Most people will know this hardened hack already - but just in case you don't know - she is the Liverpudlian shopaholic who is marrying potato-faced Wayne Rooney. Or has already married him. I don't really care.

Her claim to being a 'journalist' is a nauseating 'column' in Closer magazine about her latest shopping exploits and which shoes go with which outfit. I understand she is paid close to £100,000 for these weekly pearls of wisdom each year.

Please spare us from these non-entities of the culture of 'celebrity', who in the real world cannot string two words together in speech, let alone write them down to form a legible sentence.
