Wardman Wire Magazine UK Edition

Yesterday (21st July) in the Independent Media Section, Claire Beale was very enthusiastic about an advert designed by Ogilvy.

In the Best in Show section of her Advertising Page, she included:

• The standard presentation of four screenshots in the printed Media Section of the paper.
• Instructions on how to find it, including details of the exact search to use on Youtube.

The article does not include a clickable link within the web page on the Independent website.

I’m taking an interest because the video has had a relatively small number of views, so it is an opportunity to examine the statistics in a bit more detail than we usually see.

Sanddef made this comment on Liberal Conspiracy yesterday, in a conversation about blogs getting - or not getting - media attention in Wales:

At least news that spring from blogs get a mention in the English press; in the Welsh media this is not the case, despite the fact that political news and comment is pretty much run by and dependent on the blogosphere here.

A “Welsh Blog Roundup Radio Spot” would help fill that gap.

One of the minor interests for the Wardman Wire is architecture. I haven’t written about it very much recently, so I’m be doing a three or four articles over the next few days inspired by articles I have seen in the last few weeks.

Architecture Today is “the monthly magazine presenting the most important projects in the UK and the rest of Europe.” I’ll be looking at three articles Today, I have an example to show that architects are just as capable of writing rhubarb as sociologists, radical feminists or Parliamentary “draftspersons” (when guided by Ministers in a hurry).

I have updated my Eurovision Song Contest live blog to include audio, video and pictures - including a long-dead of photo of Anthea “giving Brucie a twirl”, and this photo of the Greek entry doing the Birdie Song. The updated version is here.

Earlier this week I reported that some of the French are in a tizzy because their entry for the Eurovision song contest is in English. We have a new development.

The Royal Mail have launched a new set of stamps illustrated with endangered British species of insects, by Richard Lewington, a leading wildlfe artist.

The French 2008 Eurovision Song Contest entry by Sébastien Tellier - “Divine” - will be sung in English. Gorgeous. Here is the official clip.
