After deleting 10 emails about Alain de Botton from my inbox I'm wondering when the meccsa mailing list became a discussion forum. Would it be possible for those deeply invested in this issue to email each other rather than everyone?

Are we really surprised that Alain de Botton is an intellectual fraud and an idiot?

That is stunningly ignorant! It’s not as if children are only introduced to these things in media studies or at A level. They often also look at other media of the kind he mentions in English GCSEs.

Subject: Newsnight De Botton on 'the news"
Alain De Botton was on Newsnight last night. He declared that it was a problem that we don't teach children how to "read" the news. He appeared to unaware of the existence of Media Studies. None of the panel, which included Alastair Campbell, challenged his ill informed views. I think MeCCSA should consider registering a complaint on behalf of the profession. The item on Newsnight is available on IPLayer. It commences 16.00m in.
At 16.43 Alain de Botton at the start of a filmed intro item, declares:
“At school they teach you how to analyse books and pictures, but no one ever tells you how to make sense of that far more powerful questionable art form, the news. We’re taught to decode Shakespeare but not the celebrity section of he Daily Mail; George Eliot but not The Sun”
How long has Media Studies been an A Level subject ?
