Thread Name: Song Challenge! Stuck in a Vagina!
Subject: RE: Song Challenge! Stuck in a Vagina!
Just spoke to daughter again....she's peeved that her cobbled-together non-story (written purely as "filler") has been FB shared directly over 22,000 times, plus tens of thousands more from dozens of other media pick-ups, and over 1300 re-tweets.

Yet an in-depth and well-written expose she did a few weeks ago on developers vandalising architecturally important buildings in Moscow while "renovating" them, which led to direct intervention by the Deptartment of Cultural Heritage, police cordoning off one building from developers and a probable change in Russian Federal Law only got 120 re-tweets and shares combined, and wasn't picked up by ANY foreign media.

She's a bit peeved that she's now known around the office as "stone vagina woman" rather than "woman who saved the Narkomfin Building".

That's journalism, I suppose!
