Journopig is a blog by two media monkeys who watch far too much TV, and read far too many newspapers. We’re not fussy – we’ll read broadsheets, tabloids, Berliners, the backs of cereal packets… as long as there are words and pictures, we’re happy.
Here at Journopig Towers, somewhere in the rural heart of England, we enjoy a little snigger at bad journalism and daft TV. For that reason, we love Harry Hill (because of TV Burp), Charlie Brooker (from The Guardian and Screenwipe) and Victor Lewis-Smith, for being oases of common sense in a desert of inane media. Or something.
One of the Journopigs trained as a newspaper journo and also worked for the BBC in the dim and distant past. So she kind of knows what she’s talking about. Sometimes. Kind of.
And the other Journopig simply watches FAR TOO MUCH telly and needs to go and get a hobby.

Hi,
I found your comment on The Guardian’s book blog, regarding ‘forgotten or neglected books.’ I was very interested to read what your wrote about Diana Tutton’s ‘Guard My Daughters’ because by pure chance a few months I found a copy of the novel in a used bookstore, and am enjoying it immensely. Can’t seem to find anything at all about her, though, or her novels–though it pops up now and then quite a lot on other people’s blogs. Do you know anything?
Thanks!
Maia
