Take it from me, from a journalist's point-of-view it can be extremely tricky writing stories about one's own employer.

So. At the risk of putting myself in line for one of Private Eye's infamous 'Order of the Brown Nose' awards, I would just like to say this: I feel rather proud of the high-ups here at Haymarket Towers who sanctioned a public statement about the group's renewed contract with Wyndeham that included mention of (shock!) print price increases. Haymarket Media Group is, I believe, the first publisher to do this. I very much hope it won't be the last.

Shoot me down in flames if you will. That's all I wanted to say.
