Hi. This is my blog site.


We are all subject to a lot of official communications these days from companies, governments, celebrities and others.  All too often these are ghost written passages concocted by overeager PR machines and do little to tell you anything new about the author or his or her true interests.

All the best writing at Thomson Reuters gets done by our journalists, so I certainly don’t pretend that I can improve upon the impressive work they produce every day, often at great personal risk.  Instead I’m going to write about what interests me, which is often my work at Thomson Reuters, as well as wider issues like technology and media - two areas that I am fascinated by.

I imagine much of my audience will be internal at Thomson Reuters, although this blog is open to anyone.  I am currently experimenting with various bits of it so it may change from time to time.  But I'll try to update it regularly, although sometimes the doing makes the talking about it difficult.  My real aim is to engage in an electronic dialog with whomever wants to comment on a post or otherwise share their views.

    British Airways, which is probably the company I know best as a customer after my various broadband providers, recently went through a period of pretty savage attacks in the UK media for their serious operational problems opening Terminal 5 at Heathrow. ...

  • Strange Loops

    I have been reading an excellent book,   I am a Strange Loop , by Douglas Hofstadter which represents a rare departure for me from the land of good fiction.  Hofstadter, who is a Professor of Cognitive Science and Computer Science...

  • Avoiding Politics

    The well-worn advice that polite guests should avoid politics and religion at the dinner table surely must apply with renewed vigor to the chief executive of an information company which prides itself upon, and is constitutionally bound to maintain,...
