Abstract
First paragraph: My first job as a trainee reporter was on a Sunday title. Sundays are a breed apart. We had contempt for our daily sister, were drunk until Thursday and staffed by some of some of the oddest journalists in town. Unsurprisingly, the paper doesn¡¯t exist any more. There is a different rhythm to newsgathering. Much of the Sunday paper has to be away early, with stories that won¡¯t date. Front page leads have to be exclusives, it¡¯s just too risky relying on events to bail you out ¨C even in Northern Ireland in the 1980s where I was working. This is one reason why the sting and the ¡°kiss-and-tell¡± are among Sunday staples.
