Hi all
Just to say that I've just had a chat with the nice man
from Newsnight and
he's still really keen to set up an interview between
the lovely Evan Davis and an editor, who can talk about the way in which
these decisions are made. I'm making a few direct phone calls but if
this is something you think you could do, please get in touch! I'm on
07803 505 169 or just drop me an email.
Cheers
Lucy
