Classic DJ-ing
Granted, it's not particularly a journalism issue, it's media in general, but I'm really quite pleased that Classic Gold, the radio station, has reinstated Tony Blackburn. It had sacked him because he kept playing records by Cliff Richard, who's a bit off-message for them. He is now allowed back, and so is Cliff.
I'm not a Cliff Richard fan. I'm not a Tony Blackburn fan. But if you hire Tony Blackburn there's no point in getting angry with him when he starts behaving like Tony Blackburn. Particularly if you're going to back down the following day and end up looking a complete chump.
