Paper Monitor

11:46 UK time, Friday, 12 February 2010

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

If deja vu is a situation where you merely get a feeling you might have seen something before, then page 11 of today's Daily Mail is more a case of "deja vu sans aucun doute".

There's a at night and waking up residents who could be vulnerable to burglary.

It's a good yarn but we can't escape the feeling we might have seen it before on from this one.

But that bit of deja vu pales in comparison to the story that runs alongside it. We learn that Reebok Classics are the favourite shoe of burglars.

A quick check of the Nexis newspaper archive shows stories revealing this insight from as far back as... wait for it... 1999.

And speaking of deja vu, Paper Monitor is getting a hearty dose from the tabloids' endless coverage of one particular set of celebrity couple tribulations.

We won't name them again of course. On these pages they shall henceforth be known as the blonde tall presenter woman and the tall Lancastrian bloke with the shiny teeth and the 1940s name.

The tall bloke has been accused in the paper of sexting glamour models. And at the same time, the tall blonde is about to have a book out and has been doing lots of interviews about her dream family and how it's solid as a rock.

And the end result is lots of interviews she did before she knew about the alleged sexting are run in a new and "poignant" context.
