Five years into journalism, here are some tips and reflections: 1/ Don’t be a d*ck. Obvious? Yes, but you’d be surprised. Being decent and courteous with everyone you meet can only be a good thing. And people remember. I said this on my 2023 thread - it remains no.1.

Here's another report (by PA's @CallumJParke) on Dale Vince's libel action against the Daily Mail's publishers: independent.co.uk/news/uk/cr…
A (so far) failed attempt to overturn the 'bane and antidote' principles set out in the 1995 'Harold and Madge Bishop' libel case about what a 'reasonable' reader consumes as regards headline and text in a news article theguardian.com/business/art…

Aspiring NCTJ students make a note of the deadline and get your applications in early. We are interviewing now for September start dates. If you do not have an offer from an NCTJ provider you can’t apply for the funding. @The_JDF @NCTJ_news #diversityfund #journalismqualification

Hearing that a major news agency is struggling to cover some of the key constituencies for counts on July 4th. It’s a reminder that the election is a great opportunity for you to get experience if you’re a student or recent graduate - just approach outlets to see what they need

Enjoyed speaking to @privateeyenews for their latest podcast, all about the scandal of the Single Justice Procedure. A justice system without fairness isn't justice at all. Turn to Page 94 to hear more: private-eye.co.uk/podcast

Yes, a really important story from the family courts, and a tremendous achievement by @Sanchia7 and @CallumJParke in getting it reported.
A judge has agreed it’s in the public interest to report that three children have been abandoned in London by the same parents since 2017. BBC's @Sanchia7 & journalist @louisetickle tell @BBCNuala more about the story & why they believe reporting from family courts is important.

Great to hear @COLCJournalism alumni Jen Stout reading first part of Night Train to Odessa this morning on BBC Radio 4. An inspiration for our current cohort and future journalists.
Just about fell off my chair hearing the continuity announcer describe Night Train to Odesa there ... It's happening! BBC Radio 4, in 40 mins, in my own dulcet tones, the first of five part serialisation. Tune in!
