Christine Buckley in the Guardian makes the case for the return of the Industrial Correspondent. The cause of their disappearance, and the debate about the gap left, has been amusingly debated for some time ("They were a complete shower" Iain Dale, writing in 2008)
The "threat" of two BBC 48-hour strikes is widely reported tonight, to hit the Conservative Party Conference and the Public Spending Review announcements. Not the fact, however, that the unions are "claiming dates" as the law requires in the management of industrial disputes, and that a 48-hour strike for 20 and 21 September has been called off, to allow talks with BBC management to continue. Would an Industrial Correspondent have been given space and time to report that ?
