I couldn’t agree with you more. As you’ll have seen from Tony’s second post, we approached him after his initial post on the Computer Weekly blog awards and he kindly demonstrated how to answer his and your questions. We are well aware of the opportunities that the blog awards shortlists present and we certainly look on it as more than just a story with an ending – our challenge is the technology platform we use and the skills we have available. We’re very aware of data journalism and are one of a number of titles at RBI looking into this – we’re hosting a hacks and hackers day later this month to highlight and examine this further.

I would love to say we are able to deliver these sort of services today but admit we’re not quite there yet – but that is not an indication of the way we approach our journalism, merely of the resource limitations under which we operate. We’ll get there…

Thanks
