MeejaLaw: Outgoing PCC chair takes a swipe at the Guardian
October 13th, 2011Posted by Joel Gunter in Editors' pick, Journalism, Newspapers

Responding to a question from Guardian data journalist James Ball about her comments on enforced regulation compliance, Buscombe demanded to know what he was going to tweet and repeatedly said “Have you got that Guardian?”
