£50/cup coffee to help MacMillan Cancer Support
The Telelgraph have been reporting on an interesting story about a £50 cup of coffee. I enjoy my coffee but not sure I would appreciate a £50 cup! The Telegraph and The BBC are my two main source of news online (and indeed I have stopped reading a paper, apart from at the weekends, now as they tend to be so out of date by the time they are printed), but every once in a while I take issue with the way they report stories.
For example, the £50 cup of coffee story is interesting but the fact that the proceeds from the sale of it go to MacMillan only gets a single line at the end of the article and should have been more prominent. Charities like MacMaillan do a fantastic job helping out those affected by Cancer, and if I am near by it might be enough to persuade me to buy a cup!

Interesting story? Get over it already. This story is years old. Do we have to recycle everything from 2003 episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show?

Actually, this isn’t recycled news, it was posted the day the news article appeared in the press, as you can see from the article. The point wasn’t about the coffee itself, rather the way it is reported in the media.
