“The best journalists are those who leave aside bogus notions of detachment and become protagonists in the things they write about.
“In this course, John Waters will apply his 30 years of experience as an analyst, reporter, columnist, author and protagonist in order to pass on his experience, perspective and approach to a new generation of journalists.
.
Is this a course in seeing how far up your own arse you can go? Because yoga is cheaper.
Hahaha!
“protagonist”?
protagonist?
“The Importance of a Passionate engagement with reality”
Ahahahahahahahahahaha!
A columnist for the Irish Times and and a serial Eurovision Song Contest entrant. I’m not sure which of those two things I least respect but if pushed I’d have to say Eurovision.
There are ways of describing that activity, and “journalism” ain’t one of them…
Great career choice what with the imminent death of print media and all that….
Last I heard journalists were finding other media through which to ply their wares.
Some kind of computer to computer thing I hear is a popular one, will never take off though.
Go to a real College or University.
Any Mick can set up a ‘Diploma’ course.
Or any John it appears
Such a deluded, foolish, egocentric excuse for using one’s brain.
Journalism is not a performance art.
I might consider it if it was at Athlone IT
That reminds me….must enrol in Clown College..
“You people have held me back for long enough!!!”
30 hours gets you a Diploma.
Amazeballs
No.
Money gets you a Diploma.
Trolling Diploma more like.
I’d be willing to donate towards sending a troll to do the diploma.
I’m holding onto me money until the John Moynes Diploma in Limericks Course starts up.
Signing up for that as soon as I graduate from the Michael Noonan School of Metaphors.
At least john was the Only Media Who Warned us About the Bogus Children’s Referendum and The Bogus Fiscal Treaty” so Give him some Credit Here were its Due!
LOL if anything he was the only media who didnt warn us, did you read that last piece of garbage he wrote? It made absolutely no sense and was littered with factual errors intentional or not.
Also whats With your Random capping of Words?
LOLz
All fun and games until someone invents the NINE week diploma in journalism…
I did John Water’s Monorail Drivers course last year and I can attest to its educational value. Did you know mono=one and rail=rail
Will he teach us that sense of “awe” that’s missing from secular journalist diploma courses?
There’s a price plan there for multiple courses….
Does this mean,
Tuesdays: Journalism
Wednesdays: Eurovision song writing
Thursdays: General Trolling?
Fridays: Erin gravy mix
I’m crying while I’m reading this.
