Independent Campaign against Celebrity Linkbait continues
The Independent is continuing it’s campaign against the use of Celebrity photographs and downmarket stories on highbrow newspaper websites to draw cheap traffic to boost web visitor numbers. Cool.
As you can see from today’s paper, the Indy front page is dominated by a high minded photo of Prince Charles who awarded the OBEs; no smiley blondes for the Independent.
Thank God they didn’t cheapen the campaign by running a downmarket photo of a pop icon with a caption such as - oh - “The showgirl and the Prince”.
