The best seat in the house 4:35pm on 11 Apr 2009 Kenandmo,
McIlroy is pronounced correctly. Just as he does it himself. How else would it sound......M'Kilroy with emphasis on the second syllable?
I also have a surname which starts with McIL which causes me no end of hassle as most illiterates don't even try to pronounce the rest properly.
Mc is often pronounced MACK, particularly when followed by a vowel.
The role of citizen journalism in modern democracy 1:24pm on 13 Nov 2008 "We may find that issues around copyright and ownership of material require more time and resource than we imagined."

Oh yes indeed. The BBC is acquiring a dreadful reputation as a "rights-grabbing" organisation which is becoming the norm across many media platforms.

The issue of copyright and ownership is deliberately traduced by encouraging "citizen journalism". Intellectual property is "the oil of the 21st century" as stated by the founder of Getty Images. Let it be made clear that educating the public as to the value of their contributions should be a vital function of your organisation.
