Champagne & Fromage opening in Brixton soon

who is it for? what slant will you be putting on it? will you pay people to talk to you?
good luck on here

 

And will she answer strings of belligerent questioning from narky types who don't even live in Brixton?

 

what's belligerent about any of those questions boss?

 

Is it normal for journalists to pay interviewees?

 

It's not no. Maybe for something like a big feature specifically about them, I don't know, but they not for something like this.

 

The implication that she might be intending not to pay people where she should, mainly.

 

That's what I thought.

 

it was a question boss

 

Didn't say it wasn't.

 

the implication is all in your mind

 

Hello, Not sure if this debate is humoristic or not, so sorry if I answer 1st degree : but no, journalists don't pay for interviews (fortunately, especially considering I am broke). People talk to me only if they think it worth spending time explaining their point of vue and convictions, so I can write about it in the newspapers. I just thought that the gentrification process happens in a lot of cities and it is quite new people react, so it's interesting and this debate in your community could inspire people elsewhere in the world. I got a facebook page with my name, I am easy to contact. Apologies for my -sometimes strange - english writing. Best, Anna Borrel

 

no probs, teuchter will be happy to help, he is the man in the dark hood holding the sign in this picture
not as angry as he looks here! no need to pay him either, a biscuit will do
good luck AB

 

You could just read the Board, the Brixton forum in particular. There are many threads that would give you a flavour of what you are looking for; that would be better than expecting information to be served up on a plate for you.

 

You'd think that people genuinely interested in getting their views to a wider audience might be a bit more friendly to the journalist.

 

i got paid £10 for a short interview with german tv about 13 years ago.

 

go on then, as the "spokesperson" and frontline activist

 

I think you've got this assways. How is a journalist asking people if they want to be interviewed expecting information on a plate? Isn't interviewing people and asking them questions part of the research that goes into an article?

Just reading the boards and forming an opinion seems lazy journalism to me. Many have done it in the past just lifting quotes from here. I might be wrong but it seems like this person is willing to do much more work than that and should be commended.

 

that'll be in laurie penny's piece within a week

 

It ought to be the first thing they do and it looks like they have not bothered.

 

But that's not what you said at all in the original post, you said they should just read the board

 

Anyone know how they are getting on now the dust has settled?

 

should have paid you nine

I thank you

I'm here all week

 

Badgers still on for Champagne and Fromage next week?

 

they closed down cos Off The Cuff nicked all thier customers

 

that's not dust, it's yuppie marching powder

 

is it now 'off the wrist'?

 

Imagine how many more pages this epic thread would be if the owners of C&F had tried to engage with the U75 community, like the poor sods who run OTC did...

 

Yes, they did well to keep their heads down.
