I rather like this short interview Farmers Weekly columnist and blogger Matthew Naylor did with Mark Price, CEO of Waitrose:
Quick, to the point and touches on the issues that both farmers and consumers care about.
Besides, I'm painfully middle-class and so am honour-bound to love Waitrose....

Hi Adam
We've been comparing your blog and John Welsh's in my online journalism class at London Met today. Hope you don't mind but both blogs are very useful.
It's been an interesting exercise. I'd like to have seen a brief intro telling me what the interview with the Waitrose chap covered, to entice me to watch it online.

I'm on a university reading list? Frightening. :)
Because this my personal blog, I'm not really trying to entice anyone to read anything - I'm not marketing the video, just sharing it with people because I thought it was interesting, if you see the difference. I don't market to people I'm chatting to, and so I don't market on my blog.
no - I just chose you and John because you're comparable. I wasn't suggesting that you should be marketing it - just that it seemed to sit a bit lost otherwise... no biggie.
But definitely a very useful thing for students to do... so thanks!

I make a habit of posting interesting stuff done by journalists here at RBI, because I know a lot of people who read my blog are interested in the shift to digital journalism. In that sense, the fact that it was done by a journalist was more interesting than the exact nature of the content (which would be of more interest to the Farmers Weekly audience, of course).
Glad you found it useful.
What really is a credit crunch?
A credit crunch (also known as a credit squeeze or credit crisis) is a reduction in the general availability of loans (or credit) or a sudden tightening of the conditions required to obtain a loan from the banks. A credit crunch generally involves a reduction in the availability of credit independent of a rise in official interest rates. In such situations, the relationship between credit availability and interest rates has implicitly changed, such that either credit becomes less available at any given official interest rate, or there ceases to be a clear relationship between interest rates and credit availability (i.e. credit rationing occurs).
We are currently facing a severe one globally.
