Pajamas Media has launched the PJ Tatler and I’ll be one of the featured commentators. The PJ Tatler harkens back to the Tatler of 1709. The original Tatler’s “intention was to present accounts of gallantry, pleasure, and entertainment, of poetry, and of foreign and domestic news. These all were reported and ‘issued’ from various London coffee and chocolate houses. In time The Tatler began to investigate manners and society, establishing its principles of ideal behaviour, its concepts of a perfect gentleman and gentlewoman, and its standards of good taste. Dueling, gambling, rakish behaviour, and coquettishness were criticized, and virtuous action was admired.”
The PJ Tatler is a rapid fire internet “free-for-all, constantly updated conversation about anything and everything that’s happening around the world.” In other words, a great place to click by and see what’s going on.
