Juliet & Matthew Maguire

Juliet and Matthew Maguire are the husband-and-wife team behind @SecondMentions, the affectionately mocking X account that has been celebrating the wonderful descriptive ability of the world’s journalists since 2013. Juliet began working as a reporter and editor at local and national newspapers and is now a product manager at the BBC, while Matthew has worked in sport for over fifteen years. Their favourite second mentions are ‘cod digits’ (fish fingers) and ‘porkers’ (pigs) respectively.
