A Note About Copywriting

No... I'm not talking about COPYRIGHT LAW, being a matter about which aspiring WRITERS should be aware...I'm talking about written "copy", or more clearly, writing about a subject...COPY in journalism.

Anyway, I have noticed a trend (no doubt promulgated by writers UNDER AGE 30) wherein the COPY is NOT ABOUT THE SUBJECT but rather PANNING it.

This would be considered "writer's license" if it weren't so nauseatingly obviously trying to sneer at the subject, rather than elucidate it.

Whatever...I guess EVERY GENERATION is doomed to be ridiculed by writers of successive generations :P
