A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.
Another day, another notable work experience in the papers.
On Tuesday it was the turn of 15-year-old Matthew Robson, who in a two-week placement at Morgan Stanley wrote an unscientific report on how teenagers consume the media (read in the Guardian).
While he didn't actually use the word "lame" to describe Twitter - or whatever the yoof jargon of the day is - that's the between-the-lines subtext of his assessment that the micro-blogging site is "aimed at adults". Despite being the author of assorted tweets on behalf of the Magazine collective, Paper Monitor couldn't help but titter.
Today it is Daniela Oliveros-Elvidge, on work experience at Downing St after buttonholing Gordon Brown at a Prince's Trust event. The Times offers the new girl , such as never calling Lord Mandelson by his first name. "He has very many other possible titles to choose from and all of them are grander than Peter."
Well, it is the season for it. Paper Monitor is currently lording it over a cluster of mini-Magazinites (is that the correct term? - ed), demanding dry triple-shot lattes and dispensing lemon cake to those who deliver clean copy.
And the Daily Mail reports on the rise of - work experience students put in charge of a company's official Twitter feed. Which can go rather wrong, as Habitat when its twittering intern got a little too enthusiastic about driving traffic to his tweets.
And finally, not only is it work experience season (TEA! STAT! Yes, you. What do you mean, where's the tea bar?) it is Proms season.
The Daily Telegraph picks up on the open letter from Time Out's classical music editor addressed to .
For Proms audiences are nothing if not enthusiastic. While Proms director Roger Wright tells the Telegraph that he understands this man's pain, he points out that "Mozart rather enjoyed audiences clapping and Brahms was rather disappointed when they didn't clap between movements."
Paper Monitor concurs, and hopes its readers will mark the conclusion of this blog post with a round of applause.
Thank you. Thank you. You're too, too kind.
