Ha, no. I think it is something that would be rather difficult to determine statistically in any case. So it would seem that I have made the claim based on a mixture of intuition and hope... That being said, I have found, when reading certain social networking sites, that mixture of decent journalism and sensationalism seem to ensure that others read and positively comment on any given article. Of course in those cases decent journalism has to compete with things like cute pictures of kittens, but still, it might indicate that people are still prefer to read things that are well written and researched rather, even if they do on occasion lack the substance and importance one would hope for. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
