The Times / Our lives were frozen by chronic fatigue syndrome By Damian Whitworth https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/...-frozen-by-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-rdftnm75p
It has taken prime position in the Times 2 section of today's print edition. Times 2 is the daily section with magazine type articles at the front, TV in the middle and games at the back. It's spread across the centre of pages 2 and 3, occupying in excess of a page worth of space.
I am interested in thoughts on whether I should post something like the page image above as a legible image or, as I have done, as an overview to protect copyright across the paywall. I could have done something more legible, perhaps spread over multiple screen grabs. I currently have a subscription. Mods, should we set some guidance? My thoughts are based on past practice in the other place.
My thought is that the image you posted isn't a copyright issue, since the image quality is low enough that we can't read the article. But it is nice to see the image of the article, since that demonstrates the high profile of the story. I can't imagine the publisher having a problem with it, since it's free publicity for them. Whole articles shouldn't be quoted and it's best to include your own discussion/comments of any cited portions, to qualify as fair use.

The Guardian / Unrest review – powerful documentary about chronic fatigue syndrome by Leslie Felperin Short review... https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/19/unrest-review-powerful-documentary-about-chronic-fatigue-syndrome?CMP=share_btn_tw
I'm surprised that they didn't work the "militant patients threatening death to all researchers" meme in there.
To me it seemed like 'It didn't fall in line with our frightfully self-righteous touchy feely approach to everything so we thought it was boring and we didn't bother to go in the garden to be either one side of the fence or the other or even sit on it. Some other people seemed to think it was newsworthy so we thought we had better say something, in the form of a disconnected word salad of inconclusive references to things we remembered about ME, er CFS, er whatsitsname ...'
We're so glad to share that Unrest, Jennifer Brea's documentary film about ME, is coming to Watershed in Bristol! Sunday, OCTOBER 22, 15.10 Watershed 1 Canons Road Harbourside Bristol BS1 5TX https://www.watershed.co.uk/whatson/8541/unrest/ @Kina I couldn't find an events forum so posted this in the news thread.
Do it. I generally like the Guardian, the Oz version at least (which is the one I read) has some excellent journos, like the economics writer Greg Jericho, who is a model of data driven clarity. But they get not a penny from me until they start reporting straight on ME stuff, without the gross SMC spin.
Ask them to employ a Russian correspondent who can speak Russian, is not scared of common apartment cleaning procedures, and is not a plagiarist for me while you do so please. (I know, but it was a bugbear of mine until I finally stopped reading it.)
Another review of Unrest! https://life.spectator.co.uk/2017/10/film-reviews-the-death-of-stalin-unrest/
I saw the Stalin film last night and hope to see Unrest at the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday. The Stalin film is impressive, not least because famous faces like Russell Beale and Palin delight with masterful characterisation while sort of winking at the audience in a pantomime way at the same time. The timeliness is very clear and powerful. And Ianucci seems to revel in saying 'Yes, it's obvious and it's all been said by Orwell but we still forget the present is just the same as before. And maybe it is becoming even more like before.' For Unrest to be paired with Ianucci in the Spectator is a quite spectacular achievement - and I presume well deserved. The review does not seem to get into the political implications that much but maybe there is an implication that both films are about the surreal nature of the 'received wisdom'.
