A subtle England penalty shootout innovation (since 2021) is their deliberate, structured & functional use of social psychology. Here, Saka is picked up by John Stones after his penalty, to swiftly welcome him back in the team. What did England do and why did they do it? 1/7

Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight. Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

Replying to @alistaircoleman
Getting the author’s name wrong on the cover is a pretty bad error, but it’s still not my favourite typo. Particitrousers - the result of a lazy search-replace when switching the manuscript from US to UK English.

Oh my God please can online news outlets stop hyphenating ages like this? It is WRONG and upsetting. A 36-year-old man is 36 years old. Will die on this hill – much as all the sacked subeditors seem to have done.
