Re: the London bombings.
If you were watching CHUM TV (?) in Toronto, and you heard a phone interview with a British journalist called William, 'twas I.
I sucked, so they only let me on the air for half a minute. A career on TV does not await.

A "British journalist"... I am humbled by your presence, Taxloss.
Now you've been on TV more than me!

5. That should read "an extremely insignificant British Journalist" |
|
I was interviewed in my capacity as a writer for Londonist.com, Gothamist's transAtlantic sister.

2. Cool - too bad it wasn't in the UK so we could've heard you. |
|
Do you freelance or are you on the staff of one of the papers?

6. I'm a freelancer. And a very minor one at that. |
|
I mostly write for design and social policy magazines, and websites.

4. Emotional, but calm. The word that keeps cropping up is "stoic". |
|
I'm not sure how I could have infiltrated the media ... working in it for seven years was probably the perfect cover.

7. Aha! So you've inflitrated the media for 7 years! |
|
Being a journalist is the perfect cover. We have very few journalists on this side of the pond. We seem to have lot's of overpaid hacks though.

I usually catch a little bit of Breakfast Television in the morning while I eat breakfast.
A lot of people watch that. You're a star now.

9. the snippet might get picked up by other stations |

I think CHUM has some affiliates elsewhere in the country.
But, congratulations, William! Having been asked to comment in front of a TV camera before, I tend to go almost as incoherent as Bush -- so I have great admiration for people who can pull it of.
In general, I've been impressed by the compassionate, thoughtful statements being uttered by Londoners on the CBC -- in particular one man who went out of his way to stress why he thought it was so important that people keep their cool, not turn their anger and suspicion upon those of Arab or Muslim origin, and wait for the police investigation before deciding on a course of action.
