Diligence and the media

The area meeting for the creative research group at the University of Due Diligence was coming to an end. The 12 members of the group had managed to get through the agenda smoothly – even the potentially contentious item on the terms of reference for appointment to committees only took 45 minutes. And the newest member of the group, a visiting professor from London, had seemed more relieved than bothered when his 15-minute power point presentation on innovative research technologies was held back for the next meeting.
