RICHARD - I BUMPED into an old journo friend at the National Television Awards on Tuesday night. I've known him since my own days as a newspaper reporter and have always held him in high regard.
We fell to talking about so-called journalistic instinct; how it sharpens with age and experience. Personally I've discovered that pretty early on in a developing story I can privately predict reasonably accurately how it's going to spool out. For example, I remember that when the Chris Huhne saga first surfaced as barely more than a paragraph in the papers, I told Judy:"He'll go down for this." And he did - eight months for perverting the course of justice.
