Газета британская, но достаточно широко освещает международную тематику, есть специальный раздел о США. Статьи очень живые, интересные и тематики разнообразные — от высокого искусства до советов о личной жизни. Специально для любителей языков созданы разделы Languages и English and creative writing.

The Daily Mail Популярные британские таблоиды еще называют чтивом домохозяек. Слоган одного из них — News, sport, celebrities and gossip — точно отражает суть таких газет. Не стоит искать там серьезных новостей, аналитики и статей об искусстве. Что там есть, так это легкий и живой язык с многочисленными фразеологизмами и даже сленгом, подробности скандалов из мира политики и шоу-бизнеса, слухи из жизни британской королевской семьи. Минусы — всплывающие периодически шокирующие снимки жертв преступлений, жутких болячек или людей-мутантов из индийских деревень. Плюсы — понятное изложение и полностью бесплатный контент, включая приложения. Есть даже раздел о России. Все статьи — довольно объемные и перенасыщены фотографиями, видео и виджетами соцсетей, но каждую предваряет анонс из списка коротких и понятных фраз, описывающих суть и самые эффектные факты материала.

Robbins will be either be re-sentenced or face a trial sometime in 2007. Referenda and local questions dominate November election ballotThe ballot local voters interfaced with on Election Day this year was notable mostly for the number of specific questions they were asked to decide. The Colorado state election ballot was the longest and most involved in history. Aside from state questions dealing with gay marriage, immigration law, campaign finance, the minimum wage, as well as decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana, Summit County voters faced a number of critical questions. The vote triggers the establishment of a new multi-jurisdictional housing authority that encompasses the entire county. In Frisco, voters rejected the chance to land a consolidated campus of Colorado Mountain College on a small corner of the Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area. The vote was 55 percent to 45 percent opposed to the plan, and CMC afterward said they would pursue a new non-consolidated campus in nearby Breckenridge. As far as elected officials, young aide to U. Gibbs will follow local favorite son Gary Lindstrom, who announced the end of his lengthy public service career by not seeking re-election to the House seat. In local municipal elections in April, voters opted for change in a number of races. In Frisco, repercussions from the 2005 debate over bringing Home Depot to town were evident, as the top two vote-getters in the town council election were vocal opponents to the big box. Attorney Kent Willis and brewery owner Woody Van Gundy both won seats with the highest vote tallies, and restaurant owner Dan Fallon kept the seat he was appointed to in 2004. In Dillon, incumbent Mayor Barbara Davis easily won reelection, but voting for the third town council spot required a recount.

Yet writers themselves hate to be categorised: there is something about being a writer that is all about putting your roots in the air. Stories, on the other hand, grow downwards, seeking the cultural nutrients in the soil. When David Edgar, chairing a session on theatre and censorship, asked the Northern Irish playwright Gary Mitchell whether he spoke for the Protestant community in North Belfast, Mitchell replied pugnaciously that he spoke only for himself. Mitchell knows all too well what it means to be accused of representing a community. He calmly described the intimidation that he and his family have received at the hands of loyalist paramilitaries who object to his portrayals of their culture. Her play Bells, staged last year at the Birmingham Rep, explores the world of the mujra: so-called dancing clubs prevalent throughout South Asia and now common in Britain.
