Slow News Week?

Not quite sure to make of the fact that Reading’s local paper has “Twitter hashtag hijacked by Japanese cartoon fans” as the lead item on the front page. The #rdg hashtag is currently full of Tweets (in Japanese!) connected with the Anime show Red Data Girl. Does that really justify being front page news, or is it a very slow news week in Reading?

  1. I guess they missed the death of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, among other things.

  2. Tim Hall says:

    Did she have any connection with the town?

  3. I don’t believe so, but I think one would rank as bigger news than the other no matter what the municipality.
