Best wishes to the brand new Bureau of Investigative Journalism, not, as one might suspect from its title, a wing of the US Government, but a UK not-for-profit organisation that wants to up the level of enquiring reporting in this country. It plans to work in collaboration with all sorts of media outlets, and says it already has seven investigations underway.

My friend and former colleague Angus Stickler is in it, with the title Lead Reporter. I suspect he'll soon have a trenchcoat, a homburg, and PI badge.
