Discussion of Fairfax’s new online site has been moved here. What about The West’s online revamp as well?
So the tired old West finally got some of the competition that we media whingers have been asking for for years. What was the result? First viewings of the Fairfax challenge could be summed up with the (not [...]

I was going to put this about the police raid on The Sunday Times in with the weekend stuff, but it was too good.
In the media yesterday, Media and Arts Alliance WA branch secretary (and The Worst of Perth stalwart) David Cohen called the raid a “fucking outrage!” but eagle eyed (and ALSO The [...]

Another excellent submission from Glenn. Unfortunately this apparition on Beaufort Street Inglewood is now covered over. Looks like a man who would be into “Spanish” to me. I am actually getting through some reader submissions in the past couple of weeks.

You know that I generally prefer original material, but there are so many outside links and pics that deserve our attention, I’m going to make Fridays Worstorama Day, where we can look at some interesting snippets of Perth and even world worsts, with perhaps a little more snarkiness than the usual measured [...]

Did you miss me? Was one day without TWOP too much for you? I was going to apologise for missing my first ever day until I saw that no-one had congratulated me, firstly for getting several paragraphs in the Australian, (TWOP appears to becoming a player in the reshaping of the city), and secondly for [...]

Charlie Court passed away yesterday, and to balance the resource driven praise, David Cohen of Rottobloggo reminds us of a less savoury side of the Iron (and Gas) Duke. Personally David, I think Sir Charles’ worst piece of work was Dicky Court. At least Charlie never built us a belltower. I really miss The Daily [...]

Worst Newspaper/Spelling
The Bilbo 5? Does that include Gandalf? Sigh. Notice also the spelling of Coroner. Also note that the correct spelling for both words is in the story.

A while ago we put out a call for Worst of Perth fans to nominate the Worst journalist at The West Australian Newspaper. Here are the nominations tallied up, and the the verdict, it appears is all of them! I did have one person saying they didn’t think Mark Naglazas should be in there, but [...]

Guest Post from My Ning. It’s a little hard to tell whether My Ning is nominating this piece for worst person, worst newspaper, worst journalist or worst private school, but what the hey, let’s tick all of them. The fact that he has included a shot of the billionaire’s bonce showing it at it’s worst [...]

Now The Worst of Perth has only been running for less than two weeks, but two suggestions keep coming up consistently, The Convention Centre, and The West Australian Newspaper. Both have been a little too easy as targets, and it has been far more interesting driving around Morley looking for Perth’s worst letterbox.
