RTÉ needs a secure policy anchor
RTÉ news anchorman Brian Dobson has said he regretted his involvement in coaching health board chief executives on how they should deal with media interviews. Mr Dobson, who conducted mock interviews with the executives, said he was paid for the work but not handsomely. He added he was not involved in devising strategy just conducting interviews.
In an apparently tongue-in-cheek remark he said he did not know whether he should be suspended or fired, indicating that, as far as he knew, there were no procedures in place in RTÉ for staff who did media training?
