Concerned of Tunbridge Wells

In my new persona of angry letter writer I was pleased to see that other people from City had also written defensive letters to the Guardian about Peter Wilby's piece about social elitism in journalism. Josh Loeb, of Angry Young Man fame, and the head of the broadcast journalism, Lis Howell, also have letters published here.
Wilby's article today about Roger Alton's move to the Independent is interesting. There is definitely a lot of excitement in the office and I think Wilby's point that Alton would not have agreed to take over unless he had received assurances about the future is valid. I hear he will move to change the 'statement' front pages and will hopefully bring new life to the floundering title. The Indy certainly has a lot of potential and I would be sad to write it off just yet.
On a completely different note, I was excited to be reviewed on Headline Money today. The lovely Rosemary Gallagher, who took me under her wing at The Scotsman last summer, wrote this:
"As chill winds blow through the City, it's springtime for savers. This more uplifting piece, by Laura Harding, focuses on a positive feature of the credit crunch, namely, how banks and building societies are vying to attract savers with high-paying accounts. If you want to bag one of these accounts, move quickly as they won't be on for long, is the message from Harding."
