Hello,

I'm a journalist at BBC News Online and I'm working on a feature about spoof news websites, with a focus on regional news sites like Suffolk Gazette.

It's off the back of a story I wrote about a spoof site in Essex being recognised as a legitimate media outlet by a council: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-35612405

I'd be very keen to speak to you as I've been following Suffolk Gazette's success for some time (the granny trapped in the toilet story being my favourite example). I'd interview you over the phone about the background to the site, what sort of stories are your most successful and why people enjoy spoof news, etc.

Would you have a spare 10 minutes at some point today?

I'm on 01245 616 077 if you're free to call.

Thanks,

Jodie
