As host Kelsey Litchfield so duly notes in today’s Ag Comm Network podcast, they let us come back with a second episode! This week we talked with Chris Clayton of DTN/The Progressive Farmer, who shared how he covers Washington D.C. from his home base in Omaha.
- Ag media perk: you’ll never get bumped by a sports story.
- Twitter can function as a news wire.
- Farm bill fights are no longer between Midwest and South; now it’s Republican vs. Democrat over food aid programs.
- Every story should answer: What does this mean to the reader?
- Ag journalists aren’t here to do PR for agriculture; sometimes you have to be the friend that takes the keys away.
