I am doing a multimedia storytelling project on organ donation and as you can probably guess I am looking for stories to tell.
Due to doctor-patient confidentiality laws I am having difficulties finding people.

Today saw the trial of three of the world's top cricketers accused of exposing their sport to "rampant corruption" at Southwark crown court in central London. They deny charges of conspiracy to cheat and accept corrupt payments over a test match at Lords. A tabloid newspaper alleges they took bribes to bowl deliberate no bowls.
For anybody whose interesting in getting into radio, I came across this today...
Simon Smith talks to three guests about getting into radio.
The radio industry is as competitive as ever and demands an increasingly wide range of skills, so what can you do to convince someone to give you your first break? Our panellists share their own experiences in radio and some dos and don'ts that they've learned along the way.
I saw this earlier on BBC iplayer and thought it maybe of interest to some other journalism students so I would post it on here.
Its a short drama about the Irish journalist Veronica Guerin based on true events.
The description says:
Drama based on the true events of an Irish journalist's tenacious pursuit of Dublin's drug and crime lords, culminating in her assassination by those very people in 1996.
After Chris Jefferies’ winning defamation payout in January [Joanna Yeates' landlord who won ‘substantial’ undisclosed libel from eight newspapers] and the on-going phone hacking scandal of the summer, this had not exactly been a great year for journalistic integrity. Today, another story has broken where ITV, in a documentary supposedly examining connections between Muammar Gaddafi and the IRA, accidently included footage which has turned out to be from a video game called ARMA 2. The footage which shows a helicopter being shot down was in the documentary labelled "IRA film 1988".
