Interesting
I speak to journos on most days, but it's about stuff like the latest euro zone jobs data, retail sales, or an ECB rate cut.
They're from the wire services. I trust them and have had the odd beer with them. If The Sun called up asking for stuff, I'd not talk.
You can't say all journos are the same, just like all pilots are not the same.
That said, Raw Data is right in that if you've never met a journo that cold calls you about something sensitive -- clam up.
