The "interviews" that I clicked on were just links to the newspaper articles from which they came. And of course said newspaper articles are always hacked around by the journalist, with bits considered to be not very interesting omitted, and they invariably have some prose between the "quotes" that emphasises the spin the particular newspaper or journalist wants to make. And some journalists like to take things out of context, just to further their own career. <BR/><BR/>It's a great idea and I hope that it improves considerably over time. A true resource would be the full unedited versions of the interviews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-21256440617659692322008-01-21T09:10:00.000+00:002008-01-21T09:10:00.000+00:00Very interesting digital publishing idea, would be...Very interesting digital publishing idea, would be interested to know what the copyright issues are though.Paul Linfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977920120772282561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-86551145958776500712008-01-20T22:35:00.000+00:002008-01-20T22:35:00.000+00:00Helped the boy McGibbon on his Simply Red biograph...Helped the boy McGibbon on his Simply Red biography a few years ago.
