		<description><![CDATA[Thank you to everyone who has chipped in about the death knock debate, privately by email and publicly through comments on my blog and others. I think there is scope for at least a leaflet to help families in similar situations and possibly a different way of behaving by the press. I have a meeting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My nine-year-old nephew Jamie Bray died in a tragic accident last week, getting caught in a rope swing in his garden, breaking his neck in the fall and ending up hung by the rope. Since then I have had to deal with the press. Being a journalist on the receiving end of journalism is an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some reason, reading Mike Cross’s piece for Daily Finance, reminiscing about the Independent after news that it had been sold for £1, made me dig out my first ever CV. It is from 1987 and includes my letter to the Independent that triggered my resolve to be a journalist. The CV was: On the [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[Banks may not be lending much money right now but I certainly am. I reckon by the end of this week I will have about £28,500 of invoices outstanding. That is my business lending money to other businesses. And interest free. None of these invoices is even yet overdue – technically. The first will hit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Public relations (PR) officers from insurer AXA gave the trade press and the national press different embargoes for the same story on Friday. Embargoed is a small town in Wales, my old ex-national newspaper editor used to say, emphasising the “ed” sound at the end of the word. It looks like AXA’s PR people give [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The BBC carried a story on a tax hoax phishing email this morning, timed at 01.49. I phoned the out of hours HMRC PR at 9am and he did not have the press release, said he would get it to me about 11am and, so far, still hasn’t. Why are PRs so completely useless?
