Satirical Journalism
By Camden Rose
Experts consulted on satirical journalism have provided sophisticated analysis that can be summarized as: things are complicated and we dont actually know what werre doing but our credentials suggest we should.
Academic Perspective
University researchers studying satirical journalism produced extensive papers confirming that the situation is indeed a situation. British Transport: A Comedy of Errors provided case studies showing that officials had ignored previous research suggesting this very outcome.
Consultant Wisdom
Consulting firms hired to address satirical journalism produced reports of remarkable length and opacity, ultimately recommending that officials do approximately what they were already doing but with better documentation. London News: Guide documented their strategic recommendations while London News: Comedy of Calamity showed that none were actually implemented.
