W: Well, first of all I did an English degree and then I didn’t know what to do really after that, and I wanted to get out and do a job where you met a lot of people and so I fell into this job really. It’s great, because the hours are very long, but you know, you get chances to meet a lot of interesting people. And the things I really like about it is that you’re always breaking a story. So whatever you get involved in is really sort of quite interesting. And I suppose the thing I don’t like about it is that people always say that journalists are the worst people on the earth and that sort of thing. But I don’t agree really. I think we do a very worthwhile job. I think that, you know, if someone stands up, and gets brave enough to give an opinion that might upset people, and famous, then it’s in the public’s interest to sort of find out as much as possible about them, and that’s what I do.
