Comma or no comma (On 22 May 2008, Mr David from ABC News, HR Department...) #1 (permalink) Fri Aug 08, 2008 5:05 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'.
