Our new columnist, the Insider Insider, takes a peek inside the insiderest media operation of all time. A Herald insider told the Spinoff Insider Insider: “We’ve never been insiderer.”The original insider – “daddy insider” to insiders – is, of course, the Media Insider. Launched in March 2023, the Media Insider promised “inside detail from the world of media”, and, boy, did it deliver. Insiders have offered conflicting explanations for the disappearance to the Insider Insider: the Business Insider was either a victim of insidercide (pushed off a cliff by the Media Insider); or the Business Insider was sacked after spending too long outdoors. The Insider Insider is excited about the new Society Insider column, which is expected to cover a range of issues including child poverty, social mobility and community housing, standing as a bold repudiation to Margaret Thatcher’s proclamation that “there is no such thing as society”.
