Charlie Brooker

Charlie Brooker is a Guardian columnist. He currently writes Screen burn, a G2 comment piece every Monday and he produces, writes and presents Screenwipe for the BBC


With the same humorous and witty tone of voice we're aiming for in our magazine, we decided to take a look into some samples of his work for inspiration for how to voice our opinions on annoying things in society today to our target demographic.

He keeps his sentences short and to the point to get the humour across quickly and prompt as to not dampen the humorous point he's trying to make. The tone he writes in is exactly how you would imagine him to speak it to you in person, which almost makes you feel more involved in the text as such. He is also a fan of using brackets to include his own thoughts and rhetorical answers from points he makes, which re-assures us he too has the same thoughts as us and he has answered our questions for us.

Take a look at his work further!
