Villainy, Licentiousness, Abomination, Infernity - That's Me Set For Life!

There’s some amount of speculation that the newspaper industry these days is collapsing, crushed by the omnipresent digital leviathan that is the internet. Journalists argue that newspapers simply can’t compete with the amount of free news available on the net and that soon the media industry will be lost to the power of e-news.

As a journalist-in-training this certainly presents me with a dilemma over whether I’ll be able to actually secure a job in the newspaper industry when I get out of university (provided I even get in...). I, however, have a simple and brilliant solution that will guarantee me work indefinatley for the rest of my life.

The plan is simple, I’m going to move to Coronation Street. Never in the history of TV soaps, or perhaps in existence with the exception of Nottingham, has there been a place with such treachery, murder, double dealing, trauma and terror. If I can’t get a front-page lead out of that, no one can.
