I'm back in the office today for the first day in my new desk, my 11th desk in 5 different buildings during 5 years at the BBC. I have to say that of all of them, this one has without doubt the best view. As I sit at my desk I can see from the new Wembley Stadium in the west of town, to the BT Tower in Central London.

Only 11? Pah. Done 15 in five years - total of 18 in the 5.5 years I've been at the BBC, and spread over five buildings too.

By all accounts, desk 19 ain't far away either...

Mina commented on November 7, 2005:

I can count 15 in 3 and a half years, but that does include four months as a casual when I didn't often sit at the same desk twice, even if I was working for the same team. And some days I had to move desks as more shifts came in.

AutoStich is very cool for these sort of things.

8 Desks in 2 Years but I did rack up loads jumping between cover on BBC 3, 4 and messageboards in 3 buildings.

Day of the Triffids
If everyone suddenly went blind, how long would the Internet survive, and could you still publish news on it?

With professionals of this quality, who needs 'citizen journalist' enemies?
It is hard to argue that ethics and quality set the 'professional journalist' apart from the amateur blogger, if the 'professional' keeps publishing articles so wrong that they have to be deleted.
