Hack watch?

Should there be a register of journalists interests? Personally, I think it will never happen but the Usmanov has got a lot of people thinking about the rights and wrongs of this kind of thing.

There is a Register of Lobby Journalists’ interests. Unfortunately it is very boring because it does not include a complete list of who they have been taking to lunch.

Humbert Wolfe’s aphorism seems appropriate here:

You cannot hope
to bribe or twist,
thank God! the
British journalist.
But, seeing what
the man will do
unbribed, there’s
no occasion to.
