  Ford, Anna
Anna Ford was independent television's first female newsreader and in time became one of the most popular and experienced of female news presenters in British television.
Ford's response to this was to pour a glass of wine over her former employer, M.P. Jonathan Aitken--an incident that hit the headlines and only confirmed Ford's reputation for belligerence.
Similarly controversial was Ford's widely reported refusal to wear flattering make-up on television to disguise the effects of aging, in protest, she said, at the "body fascism" of television bosses who insisted that female newscasters were only there to provide glamour.

The photographs were published in the Daily Mail and OK Magazine.  Ms Ford complained to the PCC that they infringed her privacy in breach of clause 3 of the PCC code, which provides:
The PCC decided that Ms Ford’s entitlement to privacy under the PCC code had not been infringed because she had been photographed on a public beach.  Ms Ford challenged that ruling.  However, in order to challenge the PCC by way of judicial review, you must first apply for leave to do so.
Since the law of privacy is rapidly developing and the PCC does not enjoy the confidence of many of those who have reason to complain about their treatment by the press, legal proceedings are now more likely to be effective in many cases.

This week Anna Ford, just-retired high profile newsreader from the BBC, has been recruited as a director for J Sainsbury, the UK supermarket chain.
If Ms Ford wants inspiration to bring to Sainsbury, there is one site she can look at: Wal-Mart (www.walmartstores.com).
She will not learn how to report data more objectively (I suggest she looks at oil companies for that), nor will she see a company that tackles contentious issues (you would never guess that anyone had any problems with Wal-Mart).
