		<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[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[Should journalists mention facts that will play up racism, even though the source seems impeccable? I did a story yesterday about insurance fraud on Daily Finance. In the course of interviewing the lawyer, she made the statement that the defendants refused to testify in court because they would have had to swear on the Qur’an. [...]]]></description>

Journalists should avoid this site because of its inaccurate and misleading information. Yesterday, 17 January, it tweeted that new donation and funding figures for political parties had been published. This was just baloney. First the link on that tweet was [...]]]></description>

I was surprised to see him at the club as he is always abroad, usually playing for Team GB in another tournament, though sometimes just on a well-deserved holiday. [...]]]></description>
