The newest NewsBlog reprise on the 2022 Annual School – #IHBCAberdeen2022 – is a signpost to two pitches on the city from the mainstream media offering takes that are polar opposites.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘There can hardly be two more different takes on how a city can be seen in the media than those of Telly Salavas, and Jonathan Meades.’
‘One is narrated from a Soho studio, apparently, by an icon of a different media era, with all the gloss of tourist Board-style promo we see in instagram, and rooted in the classic stereotypes.’
‘The other is a personalised and hugely informed pitch, emphatically from the hip and first hand, in the traditon of Ian, by a star of the modern media firmament.
