I’m someone who still likes to read a printed newspaper. In particular, I like the Saturday and Sunday editions, the reading of which can often last a few days into the following week.

I also find they can be good sources of content ideas. And not just the pharma or healthcare articles.

For example, this week was King Charles’s 75th birthday – possibly an idea for a piece about experience and patience going hand in hand for achieving goals.

We’ve also had some interesting political news this week, with the return to government of former Prime Minister, David Cameron, in the role of Foreign Secretary.

An interesting connection here might be that when David Cameron was first elected – in 2010 – King Charles was then heir to the throne, with Joe Biden as US Vice President.

Whereas today they both have the top job.

Which could be another idea that might form the basis for a content piece.
