		<description><![CDATA[I stopped commissioning stories for AOL Money this week – Wednesday to be precise. I started commissioning the predecessor site Daily Finance in December 2009. Recently I worked on the design and build of the new site and the integration of DF and its sister title Walletpop into AOL Money. It has been a labour [...]]]></description>

		<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>

I published it on Audioboo and wrote about it on Daily Finance. It has caused a stink. Does the press officer deserve it? Should [...]]]></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>
