Simon Albury, the loquacious former chief executive of the Royal Television Society, is apparently paying the price for publicly criticising BBC News executives for a "culture of denial" over Newsnight's failings at his leaving do earlier this month. The unrepentant ex-World in Action journalist said: "I have been bounced off the RTS Journalism scoop of the year jury because I spoke out about shoddy journalism on Newsnight. I am not neutral about journalism. I applaud good journalism and deplore shoddy journalism." But will Albury be the only one "bounced off" an RTS Journalism awards jury? "If the RTS bounces off everyone who said anything critical about Newsnight this year there is likely to be a shortage of jurors."
