Will Colvin: Tramp fighting and coke with hookers in the newsroom. It’s the Inception of video journalism about journalism

will colvin sneakyDr Mumbo hadn’t been expecting to hear much more about Will Colvin, the man who pulled a George Costanza during his less than stellar stint on news.com.au.

But this very entertaining video interview with Sneaky mag editor James Branson about the commissioning process of the article, along with its aftermath is a great postscript.

On the one hand, Dr Mumbo isn’t convinced that Colvin’s nickname at high school was “the fat goth”. And on the other, he doubts that Mr Colvin really brought two prostitutes into the newsroom and snorted cocaine off the editor’s desk with them.

If you can only watch one semi-fictionalised video interview about the overreaction to a hyperbolic feature article today, then Dr Mumbo strongly recommends you make it this one.

Dr Mumbo can’t wait to read an article in Sneaky about the reaction to this video reacting to the articles about the article.
