Robert Thomson, Editor of The Times newspaper, advised participants in a recent London writing business news workshop to let the facts speak for themselves in their journalism.
A newspaper needs cover of both news and views, but an amalgam of news and opinion is a betrayal of journalistic tradition, he told the farewell reception for the workshop.
Thomson said the Times was “pretty centrist”, transatlantic, liberal but not libertarian, and supported internationalism, free markets and “Europe with reservations”.

One senior News International source says Thomson is being brought in to oversee another attack on the broadsheet market, similar to the ruthless price-cutting wars of the mid-'90s.

We’ve come a long way in the past two decades in our understanding of why women, to give but one example, haven’t always had equal access to the professions – and why, therefore, they haven’t always been available for selection as judges.
Certainly, when Thomson wrote his book about our judiciary, the major question on his mind was the narrow scope of the pond out of which our judges are scooped.
