The advantages of good press
You collate a broad spread of opinion, comment and conjecture. […]
[…]
[…] you conclude that there are a great many opinions on the new craze and one should never believe what one hears in the street. That should leave your readers salivating for more.Description summary:
The description has a few optional sentences for each Morbid Fad that you collected. If you have several of them, it can get quite long.
| Rumours | Additional description |
|---|---|
 Rumour at the Bone Market | The diverse opinions of the Bone Market make for engaging copy. You publish the most outrageous opinions of all involved and frame it as 'scholarly debate'. A job very well done. |
 Rumour from the Carnival | Despite its dubious connection to the realms of science, palaeontology and the probable, you include Mrs Plenty's subject as a 'human' (ho ho) interest story. The photograph is definitely arresting. |
 Rumour from the Department of Cryptozoology | You give due weight to the opinions of the professional academics, that is to say a short paragraph in the third column. You don't wish to bore your readership, after all. |
 Rumour from the Singing Mandrake | You seek out the vox populi and print most of the drunker utterings of the Mandrake crowd. Authentic speech from authentic people. You anticipate an angry response from the Shrewsbury Chronicle, but then controversy is the grist to your papermill. |
 Rumour from the Debonair Palaeontologist | Cutting away the Debonair Paleontologist's more measured utterances, you pare their speech to the bone. You can't say that the Neath is breeding monsters […] to menace the gentle shires above. But you can't say that it isn't either. |
 Rumour from the Carpenter's Granddaughter | The Carpenter's Granddaughter is your centrepiece, your expert opinion, lauded and feted. […] you find yourself loading it down with all manner of quotes and attributions. Your job, as ever, is to make what people said sound better to the public ear. |
