Is James Aldridge a Cyborg in Disguise? A Humorous Take on Reporting

It seems I’m not the only one raising an eyebrow at the writing style of journalist James Aldridge. A recent article featured on Berkshire Live caught my attention, highlighting a local establishment in Reading seeking permission to sell alcohol and food. As I read through the piece, I couldn’t help but wonder if Aldridge’s writing style was crafted by an automated system.

His articles often come across as mechanical, featuring a copy-and-paste approach to licensing applications that makes it feel as though he’s more interested in the logistics than the lives these businesses impact within the community. It’s as if he’s channeling an android’s perspective, devoid of genuine care for the local enterprises or the unique stories they could tell.

Of course, it’s essential for journalists to report on such matters, but the connections to the community are just as vital. Businesses are not merely applications; they are the heartbeats of Reading, each with the potential to enrich the local culture and economy.

So, is it just me, or is there something robotic about Aldridge’s reporting style? I’m curious to hear other opinions, especially from those who have read his work. Let’s engage in a friendly discussion about the nuances of local journalism and its role in portraying the vibrant tapestry of our community. #JustSaying
