Busy with breaking news

A hectic news week with more than its fair share of drama and tragedy.
This has certainly been reflected in the amount of traffic on our website - with record levels of people visiting and record levels of those coming back for more.
We have expanded our digital operation and have been stepping up the volume of breaking news coverage on the site with the news agenda changing throughout the day. So to plug ourselves, make sure you come back more than once a day because you never know what you might find!

We are currently advertising a job for a reporter with the Daily Post. I must make sure I am up to speed on all the latest rules and regulations governing recruitment. One key introduction last year was to put the age of applicants out of bounds, although it is not exactly rocket science to work out someone's approximate age from the school and employment details on their CV. Besides, if they are the best person for the job, who cares?

I recall once being interviewed for a management position on another newspaper when I was grilled for three hours, not just about my journalistic ability but my sexual orientation, marital status, political persuasion, religious conviction..and my willingness to resign from a trade union if offered the post. Can anyone tell me how many employment laws were broken during those three hours?
