Just back from a lunchtime seminar featuring senior BBC correspondents John Simpson and Jeremy Bowen on the topic: "Is BBC journalism still brave, surprising and distinctive?"
The conclusions -- Hutton shook us to the foundations and we can't ever stop improving what we do but even so the BBC is still producing hundreds of hours of news and current affairs on radio and TV and millions of words of text that is world-beating.
Lest you think it was a BBC love-in, there were plenty of criticisms and admissions that we've made -- and will continue to make -- mistakes.
The seminar was timed to coincide with the broadcast tonight of One Day of War (BBC Two, 2100 BST).
If you miss it -- or can't get BBC Two -- drop me an e-mail and I'll see about burning you a DVD.
