RRaghu Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone! I’m a journalist looking for some local stories and leads specifically in the East of Sheffield. I'd love to hear is someone has suggestions or something they think is worth covering. Please feel free to comment or drop a DM. Thank you in advance.

Tipstaff Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 If you really ARE a journalist, you'll probably have been to university to study /qualify ? Didn't you learn anything ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you learn anything ? Yes, they probably learned 'if you don't ask, you don't get.' So what's the harm in asking a load of opinionated old codgers in Sheffield Forum? Good luck to them.

HeHasRisen Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Just do what most "journalists" do these days and go and trawl Twitter for a few opinions on TV shows and then write an article saying everyone is "seething" or that they have "issued a warning". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prettytom Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I’m not sure that Sheffield is the right place to look for Leeds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Swaine Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I think we are being too hard on him. On the one hand, he could pop in to the White Rose in Handsworth and chat to natives about what is grinding their gears but equally, this site is good for local gossip, though Facebook Community groups are far richer when it comes to that. Being a journalist does require using initiative, even going under cover to get a scoop. OP, have you thought about covering the speight of bull dog attacks in the Handsworth area and how this supports the need for the imminent ban on such creatures? There have been 2 in the Handsworth Road this autumn/winter, most recently an innocent (non-bull dog) was attacked by a bull dog and required medical care.

I am sure they could have got the same info from the local BBC or even the Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
