Quindi conviene selezionare le testate soggettivamente più interessanti e farne una query con un semplice copia-incolla, per arrivare al sito e alle e-mail aggiornate. Una mailing- list o un comunque archivio di 20-30 nominativi può essere sufficiente sia per giornalisti che per addetti stampa. Dove possibile, inviate il testo al redattore specifico e non genericamente alla redazione. Se potete scegliere, preferite quei siti che hanno un form di comunicazione con l’esterno, rispetto quelli che hanno solo un elenco di email della redazione.

Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising.

    REGISTER OF JOURNALISTS’ INTERESTS (As at 2 February 2017) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register Pursuant to a Resolution made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985, holders of photo- identity passes as lobby journalists accredited to the Parliamentary Press Gallery or for parliamentary broadcasting are required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £740 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass.’ Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented. Complaints Complaints, whether from Members, the public or anyone else alleging that a journalist is in breach of the rules governing the Register, should in the first instance be sent to the Registrar of Members’ Financial Interests in the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Where possible the Registrar will seek to resolve the complaint informally. In more serious cases the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may undertake a formal investigation and either rectify the matter or refer it to the Committee on Standards.
