Sorry I have been absent for so long.

I have been working more or less full time and dashing around - to Sex and the City, to Madrid - where I was a key note speaker for the ALNAP conference - and which I have blogged about for AlertNet - see link here. And also thinking about football and weddings.

I've also started work on co-authoring a report into privacy - of which more to come...

I was interested to read Mark Lawson's piece in Media Guardian here - he is talking about the MoD practice of filming military funerals and the restrictions that places on the story. Plus Megan Rowling's blogs for AlertNet from Aceh

And I am very guilty for my lack of blogging. Will redeem myself forthwith.....
