Arien, it isn't suicide but it is mind-warpingly tough, unless you just want to act as a public relations agent. It makes me laugh when I see all the guys on huge wages with little stress to think of all the people I've known who came for minimal wages and got maximum stress as journalists. I sometimes wondered if the GM was expecting journalists to top up their wages by taking bribes - which, of course, would not mean "defaming" people as kaz puts it, just promoting them.

Kaz - you don't seem to distinguish between truth, defamation and the public interest. If you can't defame anyone (in the broadest sense of the term) you can't tell the truth and you can't serve the public interest, because you are not allowed to injure undeserved reputations. If a man threw acid on his wife, would it be wrong to shame him by telling the world? Should his reputation as a good man be protected because it was just a private, family matter? Or, indeed, because he has a large advertising budget? Or comes from an important (or ruling) family?

PS: I should add that this is a hypothetical example, I have never heard of any such incident happening in Qatar.
