Britain's water crisis
- kraftman 11y agoStrange article, starts with a long story about Jim Smith, then has some actual information, then intersperses more bits of information with the opinions of Jim.
- vidanay 11y agoI call it the "NPR" (http://www.npr.org/ http://www.npr.org/) style. I can't stand it and it's the primary reason I can't listen to NPR

- ablation 11y agoIt doesn't seem that strange, to be honest. I found it readable and engaging, and it was nice to have some local colour mixed in with the "actual information." There are no doubt countless academic papers and government reports to read if you prefer something a little drier. As it is an article on the Guardian, I got what I was expecting, more or less.
- colin_jack 11y agoIndeed, not only can it more entertaining but a more people focused approach is known to be more effective as the Guardian themselves recently pointed out [1].
