Eif director Jonathan Mills may mourn media confusion over the city's different festivals – but it's just this colourful, companionable diversity that makes Edinburgh so unique
I was talking to a well-established arts broadcaster when, at mention of the Edinburgh Fringe, he turned to me with an innocent expression and said: "What's the Edinburgh Fringe?" At the time, I thought him poorly informed for a well-established arts broadcaster. But now I realise: it's all of us who are to blame! According to Edinburgh International festival supremo Jonathan Mills, speaking this week in the Stage, the media don't "help us articulate to the extent that [they] ought to the differences between the [Edinburgh] festivals". Some people know the Fringe; others only know some generic "Edinburgh festival" – and journalists are "very lazy" in pointing out the difference, says Mills.
It's hard, at least from his spliced-and-diced comments in the Stage, to know precisely what point Mills is making.
