The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

The data protection act?Ignored by companies all the time. A company I used to work for would scour the web for information on important people ("key opinion leaders" in a certain subject area, scour for dates of birth, qualifications, papers, collaborations, grants they've held, anything. And sell a system they'd developed to present that and the data to other bigger companies.
The thing is, when I suggested that we do the same for medical journalists, that was suddenly a very bad idea.
Perhaps because if journos got a sniff of that, they'd be demanding to see the data we would have had on them (but not told them about like we should have) ASAP.
Still, if you host the data offshore... then you make a mockery of that legislation! Ho hum. I wonder if big supermarkets do that to the general public?
