THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Californian band Orson ousted former stripper and talent show contestant Chico from the top of the British charts on Sunday with their single "No Tomorrow", the Official UK Charts company said.
Chico Slimani, a one-time exotic dancer who found fame after appearing on ITV's "X Factor", was knocked off the number one spot after two weeks at the top with his "It's Chico Time".
Shooting up to number three, from number 16 last week, was the Black Eyed Peas' fast-moving single "Pump It".
Down one place to four was all-girl band Pussycat Dolls and their song "Beep" featuring Will I Am.
Number five saw soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae holding steady with "Put Your Records On", while Girls Aloud stormed into the top 10 with their latest single "Whole Lotta History" which jumped to number six from 80.
Slipping three places to seven was the Sugababes' "Red Dress" while Kanye West dropped two positions with "Touch The Sky", which features Lupe Fiasco.
Former number one "Sorry" by Madonna was at nine and rounding off the top 10 was "Thunder In My Heart Again," a dance remix by DJ Meck of Leo Sayers' 1977 hit.
