Great stuff, glad he is ok.

But on the article, and I’ve seen this a lot, what does Dean Ritchie mean by “this masthead?”

Is this a new trendy woke word invented for no good reason?

It's their ego push. They all do it now.
In his case it means The Daily Telegraph, in Weidlers its the SMH.
"first brought to light by this masthead"
"Channel Nine, owners of this masthead"
etc. etc. etc

Think first bought to light by this cock-head would be more appropriate

Thanks mate. Still ridiculous isn’t it? It just sounds so fake, which I cannot stand.

The word “masthead” has an interesting origin. It originally referred to the top of a ship’s mast, a place where flags were often displayed. This usage dates back to around 1748. By 1838, the term was also used to describe the top of a newspaper where its name and other details are printed. This part of the newspaper is also known as the nameplate or flag.

It's just a rehash to be trendy. Like "narrative". I first heard that from James Pooper years ago. Now they all run with it.

If I was Speechley I’d be telling everyone ‘thanks for you concern, but f$&k off and leave me alone’.
