You’re put in your place the moment you drive down the track that leads into Laverstoke Park, Jody Scheckter’s organic farm near Basingstoke. Every few metres there’s a small sign, each a little bit bossier than the last. "Do not use polyunsaturated oils for cooking, sautéing or baking." "Eat beef, lamb, game, poultry and offal from pasture-fed animals."
Every year it is the same at the Royal Television Society’s journalism awards. Before the backslapping can begin, there is a moment of reflection. The hacks stand in silence, while the names of journalists who have been killed over the past year doing their job are projected onto a large screen. Every year the same? Not this time, writes Vincent Graff.
