tom scott: journalism warning labels

concerned with the increasing amount of ‘sloppy journalism and other questionable content’ found in newspapers, comedian tom scott designed a set of ‘journalism warning labels’ to make ‘newspaper reading that much safer.

‘it seems a bit strange to me that the media carefully warn about and label any content that involves sex, violence or strong language — but there’s no similar labelling system for, say, sloppy journalism and other questionable content. I figured it was time to fix that, so i made some stickers. I’ve been putting them on copies of the free papers that I find on the london underground. you might want to as well.’ tom scott

more images and information about the project can be found on scott’s website along with downloadable label files.
