Tyranny and unrest

Tales of toys and prams at Channel 4 News in the Independent.   It seems to stem from a move to feature just  15 "star brands" (a mixture of presenters, correspondents and reporters) on their website.  Those left out feel it's the creation of a two-tier newsroom.  

Deputy editor Martin Fewell seems unabashed: "You want to promote your big TV people but there are also some people that have particular traction online. We've explained this to the team but of course it's a bit unnerving for people".

Imagine how things might shake down in the 17-tier BBC multimedia newsroom, where a cull of underperforming blogs is now long overdue.
