Comma or no comma (On 22 May 2008, Mr David from ABC News, HR Department...) Fri Aug 08, 2008 6:05 am  Comma or no comma (On 22 May 2008, Mr David from ABC News, HR Department...)
 

I came across the following sentence :

".... On 22 May 2008, Mr David from ABC News, HR Department called on the matter and confirmed that ....."

Shouldn't there be a comma after HR Department?

Yes, in that sentence a comma would be preferable and I would omit the comma after 'news'.
