With the death of #matthewperry back in the headlines, I’m reminded of this report I made for @itvnews.bsky.social Some of the things we were told were truly shocking.

I realise I have often painted a rather gloomy picture of the online hate circulating in this business.

I’ll counter that by saying that nice people do exist, like the sender of this rather lovely message I received recently…

Felt we should mention @dafyddiwan.bsky.social’s final gig before I signed off on @lbc.co.uk yesterday morning.

One of those mornings when a story hits you completely out of the blue, and you have to grab whatever info you can to report some very tragic news.

Anyone know how ‘laud’ I should be talking on the ‘British BBC’?
