On Tuesday I was lucky enough an event organised by the Online News Association, this time with guest speaker Guido Fawkes aka Paul Staines. What an amazing career this guy has had reporting on the latest shenanigans of our beloved politicians. Puts me to shame really with how little I know about politics – I’d better sort it out!

Interesting point he made about political reportage being a bit like trade press. Its social commentary is often blunted by being too close to its subject, sources and advertisers.

Also interesting: is ‘data journalism’ real journalism? And is ‘curation’ really just another word for editing?
