‘Want to avoid the royal wedding? Here's an alternative TV guide”
Avoid the royal wedding?
Not if you read The Guardian.
Every single day, some new approach is taken for publicizing the non-event, many of them using a kind of indirect route but still achieving the same purpose.
On the front page, as I write this, are four stories, each featured with photos. Undoubtedly, buried in the bodies of other items too, are mentions or references.
And that's how it is daily.
Really, sometimes I think of the contemporary Guardian as a made-over Daily Telegraph. Different tone, splashier look, but the same basic stuff.
And it's not just in royal wedding matters.
