<\/a>Sources of mistrust \u2013 consumers, media and the food industry<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

An article in the\u00a0British Medical Bulletin\u00a0<\/em>identifies nearly a dozen causes of \u201cthe current air of mistrust that seems to exist between the media, the food industry and the consumer.\u201d Here are some of the causes cited, including several that have not been aired prominently:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 More efforts to modulate consumers’ perceptions of risk.
\n\u2022\u00a0 Increased environmental awareness in the industrialized world.
\n\u2022\u00a0 New bacteria emerging, others adapting to modern food production practices.
\n\u2022\u00a0 Less ability of consumers to control the safety of their own food.
\n\u2022\u00a0 Internationalizing food supply with accompanying increase in food safety problems.
\n\u2022\u00a0 Proliferation and globalization of media.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Can publishers really afford to be ethical?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cIn my case, I believe yes,\u201d the World President of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) told those attending the Agricultural Media Summit in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA, early this month. IFAJ President David Markey owns and manages IFP Publishing, based in Dublin, Ireland. It publishes more than 30 periodicals that serve agriculture and other industries.<\/p>\n

Sharing some of his experiences and perspectives, he concluded: \u201c\u2026at the end of the day in business, your good name and the good name of your staff and company is all you have. \u2026 it’s a fine line we walk and at the end of the day we are only human. Ethics, morals, principles, integrity \u2013 whatever you choose to call them, should be the control standards and judgement basics of our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/b>Photography on the frontier<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

If rural photography interests you, we would mention a recent book by Paul Clee,\u00a0Photography and the making of the American West<\/em>. Photography emerged, as a new information technology, at about the same time as the American West was being explored and settled. In this book, the author \u201clooks at the early history of photography in the United States, the photographers who recorded life on the frontier, and how their vision and artistry shaped public opinion about the West.\u201d<\/p>\n
