Mr. Tim Vaughan:

I do not agree that they have control. I would agree that it is an industry that has mushroomed. It is highly paid, highly lucrative, and presents a greater challenge to journalism than heretofore. There is a protective layer around much of the corporate world by PR companies. Journalists have to go through them to get information but a good journalist will always find ways around that and they will not accept the PR line, at least in the Irish Examiner.
