Some nice ideas here about how journalists can use mind maps in their stories…

"…when I disclosed that Britain's biggest banks had been told by the government that they needed to raise £50bn of additional capital…I was staggered when the share price of RBS fell 40% within minutes on the morning of 7 October 2008. But this fall in the share price – and whatever impact there was on the confidence of the bank's creditors and the urgency with which the Treasury then organised a rescue of the banking system – reflected the painful financial reality. It was plainly in the public interest to disclose the weakness of our banks. And the primary justification – for me – of this kind of story is to democratise information that matters to all our livelihoods, which would otherwise be available simply to a few bankers, hedge funds and government officials. That said, no responsible journalist would fail to acknowledge that it would be wrong to weaken such important financial institutions through an exaggerated account of their vulnerability. "
