I guess the flip side of having a celebrity chairman is that the media will always use it as a headline. BOURIS FAILS is just as good for them as BOURIS TRIUMPHS. It actually makes no difference at all to the journalist if the real story is more complex - its just easy and there is no incentive to be more even handed.

Take this article for example - it is old coverage with a bit about the share price yesterday tacked on the top and a statement that Mark didnt call back in time. That must have taken all of 5 minutes to put together - day's work done, editor happy, off to the pub.

This will work in our favour when things are going well. TZ's profile is about to build and for anyone who believes in the technology this has to be good.
