     Dear Ian, Tim, Mike, Jonathan, Bo, Kerry,
     Are you available on Monday 10th November to talk with Vicki Barker from the
     BBC about how their news service could better represent global economics in
     their reporting? (There is a little more information below)
     I'll nominate 1-2pm lunchtime as a suggestion, but the timing is totally
     flexible if I find that lunchtime is no good for most.
     Neil Adger is away for that date, but please do let me know if I ought to
     include some other people.
     Best wishes,
     Asher

     If we were to reinvent economics coverage from scratch, TODAY, incorporating
     what we now know (or think we know) about global environmental and economic
     trends... what would it look like?
     In recent years, I have watched an environmental undertow beginning to tug
     at economies around the world, even as the world's peoples have been
     awakening to the realities of an increasingly-globalized economy; and I have
     wondered if current newsgathering practices and priorities are conveying
     these phenomena as effectively as they could be.
