I go on holiday for a week and look what happens. And I'm not talking about the scandal of Eton Road being thrown off the X Factor. Emily Bell, director of digital content at the Guardian, and Janine Gibson, editor-in-chief of media at the Guardian, are on hand to give expert analysis of Michael Grade's shock defection from the BBC to ITV, and the equally surprising news that Clive Goodman, royal editor of the News of the World, pleaded guilty to intercepting the voicemail messages of royal aides. Dan Tench, media partner at Olswang, is on hand to give us the legal lowdown on the case.
Jeff Jarvis, blogger at Buzzmachine.com and professor at New York University's graduate school of journalism, is critical of the suggestion by Tim Toulmin, director of the press complaints commission, that blogs should sign up to a voluntary code of conduct.
And John Plunkett pays his own tribute to Fluff Freeman.
Hope you enjoy.
