FW doing its bit in crisis
FW doing its bit in crisis
AS THE latest foot-and-mouth tragedy unfolds in our countryside, no farming organisation has been unaffected. farmers weekly, as the UKs leading independent farming news gathering organisation, bears special responsibilities.
First, is to safeguard farms by halting all visits by journalists and photographers. We are now conducting telephone interviews to avoid the need to visit farms.
Second, we have a special responsibility to provide all our readers with the latest independent news and technical advice about this fast-moving crisis. Since the crisis began last week we have already provided a wealth of information through farmers weekly and daily updates on our web-site www.fwi.co.uk. Third, we have provided a wealth of information about the crisis to the British and foreign media. *
