Have You Read the One About … ?

So, I’ve been busy with the Olympics and have shamefully neglected my nascent blog this week. Coming soon: my Olympics blog for The Huffington Post. It will contain my musings on all things ‘lymp-tastic.

In the meantime, why not dip your toes into some of my other work?

The Huffington Post, for my articles about all things television, including Doctor Who and Etonian actors taking over the world: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/catherine-lawson/

The Daily Telegraph, for my officially expert advice on what to do, see, eat, buy in London: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sponsored/in-the-know/

AOL TV/TV Squad live on in name-only now, but are (were?) the late, lamented TV blogs full of terrifically well-informed and funny writers and editors. I used to write a lot of TV news articles very early in the morning for these sites: http://www.aoltv.com/bloggers/catherine-lawson/

TV Replay is part of HuffPost TV. I used to write up clips of the best bits of the previous night’s television shows: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/tv-replay/
