When Interns Are Unpaid, We All Suffer

Either way, jobs in the media go to the well-to-do. But the worst is not over, because then, they start to write. Or edit, or produce or present.

A Good News Year for Women and Children?

Over the years we have seen a lot of good, bad and ugly promises, campaigns and programmes. Some, such as increasing child vaccinations, have been very successful.

Is Success Without Achievement the New Corporate Culture?

Has Rupert Murdoch Made Britain Stupid?

London's most important event, Gay Pride, was on last Saturday but Rupert Murdoch's The Sun dedicated just 57 words to it.
