By Axegrinder axeblog

“I’m aiming for at least £100,000 by the end of this year,” boasts Al Jazeera’s Barbara Serra who, used to present the news on Channel Five for rather less.

Still, there is a crumb of comfort for Serra’s envious rivals ‒ not all her cash comes from her deep-pocketed bosses.

“I also do some film work and media training in Italy,” she tells the Sunday Times Money section.

That’s all right then.
