Journalism is serious business. Except when it’s funny—then it’s hilarious.
For most of the week, this blog will bring you hard-hitting, thoughtful, unimaginably brilliant analysis of media issues. Then Friday will come, and we’ll post bloopers — or rather, anything else that’s funny and hopefully vaguely related to journalism. Sound like a deal?
For our first edition, an homage to a few of the classics.
Boom goes the Dynamite: Sports + debilitatingly nervous j-school student = internet phenomenon, obviously.
But, he’s gay: Many things could impede a journey up a mountain. This is not one of them.
Skateboarding reporter: I don’t think she’d been practicing that hard.
Insane News Man: File under “When you really could have used a pause”
Reporter can’t stop laughing: You don’t have to speak the language to understand what’s funny
