The First Rule of Fight Club

Details of an interesting new website arrive in my in-box - www.journoworld.co.uk, which aims to explain how to become a journalist and what to do once you get a job.

I like the way the first article on the topic of being a journalist is titled "dealing with newsdesks".

Hints include not telling your news editor about a story, because if they learn about something too far in advance of it actually being printed they will get bored of it, and ditch it for something newer.

Shocking stuff, although not the first time I've heard that theory.
