There’s some fighting talk coming from north of the border. If the statement below sounds familiar to your experience of the current climate;
“senior managers seem to be more concerned with spouting buzzwords & standing still than actually doing something, sometimes it feels like there’s little point in trying to do anything at all.”
Then perhaps Iain Bruce could help do something about it. He’s issued a rallying cry with this blog post: “journalism is dying on its feet, and we have to do something to keep the old flame burning”.
He proposes we all do something constructive this summer and get together in Glasgow for the Digital Media Meal – an evening of food, drink and discussion.
As he says: “A platform for encouragement and debate, it would be a chance to chew over everything from what to do with multimedia journalism to XML standards for news bulletins and press releases.”
Sounds like a plan – something to cheer us on for the summer. If you like the idea, leave a comment at his blog here.

Be good to meet you if you make it up. Iain’s passionate about this – and Scotland needs people championing the cause at the moment because matters are much worse than down south.
