Confessions of a media tart

Not really. Just wanted to say that, narcissist that I am, I watched my two minutes of fame on ITV and BBC tonight. On the whole I’m quite pleased, particularly with the ITV one, as it mentioned the roots of my perspective at the end, ie the context of Peak Oil and what it means for those who plan to ship apples from one side of the world to the other. Our future is local!

On the whole I’ve been quite impressed with the journalists, both TV and print, despite the experience of being ‘used’ to further their own story line. They have mostly been very direct and honest with me. Plus which, it turns out that the BBC camera man was an old friend of my father’s (and the Daily Mail photographer and I had some mutual friends). Small world.
