See? You get the picture. The cut and thrust of journalism refers to its most lively, exciting as well as taxing and demanding part, the part that makes it both exciting and challenging.
All right, let’s read more examples for a better feel of “cut and thrust” as a metaphor:
1. It was not, in the end, good news for Martyn Lewis. The veteran newscaster famed for his dislike of gloomy bulletins, has quit BBC News after turning down a presenting job on the overseas channel, BBC World.
Mr Lewis, 54, who will be edged out of his role as one of a number of presenters of the Six O’Clock News by Huw Edwards when the programme relaunches next month, has failed to agree another role within the corporation.
He will continue to present the Six O’clock News until the relaunch on May 10, but after that, his 13 years as a BBC newscaster will end.
After discovering he was losing his role on the BBC’s early-evening flagship in December, Mr Lewis made no secret of his disappointment but said he would consider his options at the corporation. A spokesman confirmed yesterday that after Mr Lewis turned down the BBC World job, no other position was offered.
Further bad news came with the confirmation that Today’s the Day, the BBC2 news game show that Mr Lewis presents, has been axed. However, his BBC1 series Crime Beat, made by independent production company Mentorn Barraclough Carey, is expected to return.
