Get the Drive-by Journalismmug. live journal (lj) – n. Free online blogging service.
analogy Live journals are like ropes. They help you climb the social ladder. However, the rope (lj) only works if you reach out (type in your password) and grab it (pick a cool color scheme, generally an unreadable one) and pull yourself up (write daily updates as to how your life is going and how stupid everything else is, then open the forum for comments). It also helps to post some hawt pictures of yourself, especially when posed with two or three members of the opposite sex.

Get the live journalmug. 1. journalism so biased, fallacious. filthy and full of shit that it makes mainstream journalism appear accurate and objective by comparison.
2. news so heavily biased and lacking in journalistic integrity that it actually makes yellow journalism seem white as snow.
3. News sources so absurdly base in their methods and so utterly lacking in basic standards of quality, accuracy, and objectivity that they somehow manage to make Fox news actually seem "fair and balanced" by comparison!

It may be true that modern journalism has become a hopeless mess of yellow journalism. But if you want to see a real cesspool, check out some of the alternative news sources. The Blaze, Prison Planet, Natural News, Mother Jones- these news outlets have gone farm beyond the territory of yellow journalism into what can only be called 'brown journalism'.

Often composed with non traditional book materials as fabric/ tissue paper/vellum/ transparencies/ ribbons/ lace/ tulle/plastics or"throw away/ junk"/material. A hybrid book of an artist's journal/ scrapbook/ photo album/ personal diary. The appeal of the book lies in the WORN handmade of the book, & the unique factor that EVERY page is unique and ONE OF IT's Kind & no two pages are alike. To qualify as a junk journal, the books themselves must be UNIQUE, handmade or one of it's kind(hand-altered store bought books also qualifies) . Each book itself CANNOT be replicated in it's exact ENTIRTY( ex: handdyed tye dyed pages, collaged pages, tickets to an old event, discontinued paper products, etc). To qualify as a junk journal, the majority of the pages must be one of a kind, each junk journal itself must be one of a kind & the overall looks MUST BE handmade/unique/tattered/grungy in nature. It often serves as a nostagic rememberance/keepsake album for the intended owner & contains space allowances/ room for the intended owner to add & contribute to the personalized book.
