Why I sit at the back

A few councillors have asked me why, when covering full council meetings, I sit in the public gallery rather than in the press box. The answer is simple - the public gallery is often where the story is. If that's where the campaigners and protestors are, I probably need to listen to them. I suspect that as the spending axe is sharpened, and the targets become clearer and more specific, the public gallery increasingly will become centre stage.
