		<description><![CDATA[Guardian ecology columnist George Monbiot has listed his earnings and savings and said all journalists should do the same. I am not sure if he is just showing off about how much he earns – more than £60,000 from the Guardian &#8211; but he cannot be serious. Journalists should feel no more compunction to reveal [...]]]></description>

There may be power in a union but if there’re no power points to plug in laptops and mobiles, nobody will know about it. Broadband access too is key. We posted our first report and video from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PR people need help. They appear to have less understanding of how journalists work than ever before. They don’t appreciate deadlines, the speed journalists work at and the hours journalists now work on 24-hour internet media. I have had a couple of weeks of dire experience with PRs. These include: Slow, non-answers &#124; Embargos &#124; [...]]]></description>
