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.

Brilliant. Maybe make some bigger ones to stick on bill boards outside newsagents?
