Neil Arun didn’t want to miss a rare but risky opportunity to embed with an Iraqi police unit, hunting members of al Qaeda. But his employers -- responsible for Neil’s security -- weren’t happy. This film by Richard Pendry nvestigates how a frontline journalist balances risk and reward.
When the mighty snows came to Kent (18th December 2009) I posted a couple of videos to YouTube showing what it looked like at Chart Sutton near Maidstone. One of them was spotted by the Guardian newspaper's Adam Gabbatt who linked to it on the newspaper's live snow blog. I think he liked the way an 11 year old measured 23cm of snowfall while eating a snowball! After the Guardian linked to the video, we had more than a thousand views within a couple of hours! It constantly amazes me how different media are converging.
