I had the chance to finally read the whole report last night and, while I won’t get the chance to write up my reactions until tomorrow night at the earliest, on the whole, I’m impressed. It’s far from perfect, and there’s much to quibble about, but

The latest issue of the NUJ [http://www.nuj.org.uk]‘s magazine, the Journalist, has an article by my former boss, Mark Hayes. I used to work for him on a magazine called Hotel & Restaurant, until 1996. Late that year, the management gave me the choice of being
