Good Idea: Journalism Warning Labels

According to the label’s creator Tom Scott:

It seems a bit strange to me that the media carefully warn about and label any content that involves sex, violence or strong language — but there’s no similar labeling system for, say, sloppy journalism and other questionable content.

I figured it was time to fix that, so I made some stickers. I’ve been putting them on copies of the free papers that I find on the London Underground. You might want to as well.

If you want to make your own, Tom has helpfully provided a PDF template for Avery’s Letter-size 5160 labels or equivalent. (A4 13 x 5 sheet template is also available.)

(Nearly) Free Stickers

Sticker Robot is running a great promotion. All you have to do is send them a self-addressed stamped envelope and they will mail you back your envelope full of stickers. There’s just one stipulation. You also have to show off your creativity by decorating the outside of the envelope you send to Sticker Robot. Check out their Flickr page to see some examples of what has been sent so far. Ok, we know the stickers are not completely free but it’s as close as you can come to free in this world.
