Talk:Aleks Krotoski

Third-party sources

OK, she describes herself as an "academic and journalist" on her own website, but is this third-party sourcable, or indeed at all accurate? Wouldn't "person off the telly with a recent doctorate" be closer to the point? (No, that wasn't a suggested edit.) Also, it seems (typically, on Wikipedia) odd that she's in a "Polish British" category, when she's blatantly a Yank. Smartiger (talk) 00:05, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

No, links to her PhD thesis won't suffice; that makes her a "broadcaster with a PhD", not an "academic". If she's at any pointed worked as an academic, she wouldn't appear to pass the "average college professor" test. Her actual notability seems to be as a broadcaster and journalist, so let's try stating that precisely as such. Smartiger (talk) 06:40, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Outdated citation

Hey i am not sure how to do this probably so im just gonna metion it here. citation 18 is bad link and does not work Anymore, and need to be updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.68.246.113 (talk) 20:07, 26 April 2016 (UTC) I clicked on it just now and seemed to get through to the link, so it appears to be working now.

The Digital Human

This article says that since 2011, she has presented a programme called "Digital Human". I wonder whether a definite article should be added here, as I am sure that on BBC Radio Four I have heard this programme referred to as "The Digital Human". Vorbee (talk) 16:35, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Vocal affliction

Krotoski suffers from quite a severe vocal fry affliction. Should this be mentioned in the article as it would seem to be a notable achievement to have obtained a broadcasting role in spite of it, even though it makes it somewhat difficult at times to understand the intent of her intonation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.190.224.47 (talk) 17:09, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Hipster?

As well as being a conspicuous yank - 'ardisd' (artist), 'innerview' (interview), 'darda' (data), 'digidle' (digital), 'noo' (new), 'compuders' (computers), etc. - she users hipster language inappropriate to her age and sociology topic of choice: technology, e.g. ... 'an Insta' (Instagram post), 'algos' (algorithms).
