Podcasts about us business editor

As a little kid, Andrew Edgecliff Johnson would read his father's Financial Times. It's no wonder that he would grow up and spend his career at the venerable global news organization. On this edition of Press Profiles, we sit down with the man they call “Edge” to discuss his role as US Business Editor, the 5 speeds of news coverage, the politics of ESG, champagne and sword tricks, his grandparents' wartime love letters, his blunt but practical advice for PR professionals, and of course, a whole lot more.

An Interview with Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson, US Business Editor at the Financial TimesThis latest conversation is part of Jericho's work to launch a new Business and Democracy Commission in 2023. We will ask difficult questions, break new ground, explore whether there is a new consensus and set out practical steps for a more effective corporate and business role in this fast-changing democratic and political context. Please do get in touch if you would like to find out more. Until 2018, Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson was US news editor, directing all US coverage and helping steer the FT's strategic evolution to a digital-first newsroom. In his reporting and commentary, Andrew has charted the emergence of a new corporate consensus around the role purpose-driven businesses should play in society, and the pushback from sceptics worried about corporate overreach, greenwashing and “woke capitalism”. His past roles over 24 years with the FT in New York and London include global media editor, deputy news editor and editor of its management features section.The business community can no longer avoid engaging with the thorny issue of democracy, both in terms of whether democracy functions in ways helpful to social and environmental developments and how businesses themselves should behave as democratic actors. The two are clearly linked. Matthew Gwyther asked Andrew about Business' unique relationship to Democracy.

‘The war will change the ESG discussion from something that was easily dismissed as being about sunflowers and windmills to something that is much more serious and systemic.' In this episode, Manas Chawla, speaks to Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson, the US Business Editor at the Financial Times, about the exodus of Western brands from Russia, the role of companies in the unfolding conflict, and the implications of the war for investor understanding of ESG. Andrew has worked for the FT for more than twenty years and has held both writing and editing positions. He has written extensively on corporate America and the topics shaping the US business landscape. He also features regularly on the FT News Briefing podcast. Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, Andrew has been following and reporting on the reaction from the corporate world. He shares with Manas his latest analysis concerning the monumental consequences that the war will have for business in Ukraine, Russia, and the rest of the world.

This week on the InterDrone Podcast we sat down with Chris Anderson, CEO of 3DR. Chris is the CEO of 3D Robotics, founder of the Linux Foundation Dronecode Project and founder of the DIY Drones and DIY Robocars communities. From 2001 through 2012 he was the Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine.

We discussed the Booz Allen Hamilton study which found no evidence of unauthorized data transfers by top Chinese drone manufacturers, VCs remining bullish on eVTOLs, with cargo and freight applications leading the way, type certification in the UAS industry, how Chris started DIY Drones, created the Solo and ultimately went head to head with DJI, and much more.

This week we discuss interest rates, printing money and what a rise in rates could mean for your investments. In Europe, German policymakers are “furious” that the European Central Bank are extending their quantitative easing by a further six months, says David Charter, our Times correspondent in Berlin. But he tells us that the power of the ECB is beginning to be limited by the lack of action of national governments to fix the economy. Phil Aldrick, Economics Editor of The Times, explains why ECB president Mario Draghi has merely kicked the can further down the road in terms of fixing the problem of weak inflation in the Eurozone. Meanwhile Alex Frean, US Business Editor of The Times, tells us why Janet Yellen is the kind of person who arrives three hours early for her flight and what this says about the potential for the US Fed to raise interest rates. But what about here in the UK? Is there pressure on the Bank of England to change interest rates from their record lows? And should investors be...

Could Britain’s rate of productivity be better than initially thought? Philip Aldrick, The Times Economics Editor, says the upcoming third revision to second-quarter GDP should be able to tell us. The third GDP estimate will come with a series of revisions to previous growth figures over several years. If these are revised upwards, that suggests our productivity is not as bad as it first appears. But it’s a different story in the US, where a decision by the Fed not to raise interest rates have left investors clearly spooked by China, says Alexandra Frean, US Business Editor. “People are really nervous and are reigning in their spending” she explains. In fact, no one knows what’s going to happen to China’s economy, and that’s scaring global policy makers, Philip Aldrick argues. He asks whether we are about to hit a third cycle of the global financial crisis. First there was financial the crisis of 2007-08, then the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, now some people are warning that it’s China’s turn to...

For 75 months the Bank of England's rate-setting committee has left rates unchanged at 0.5 per cent. No action is actually expected until the second quarter of next year, but this month's minutes from the Monetary Policy Committee could show that two of the nine members have voted for a rate rise. Any hint of a hawkish tone and sterling will bounce, says Philip Aldrick, our Economics Editor. Over in the US, it wasn't that long ago that a rate rise was expected this month. That's no longer the case, but, as Alex Frean, our US Business Editor points out, the US Fed are likely to move before the end of the year. On the corporate front we will get full-year results from Poundland. As Richard Fletcher, The Times Business Editor, points out, the discounter has recently been downgraded by its house broker for the coming year meaning all eyes will be on its outlook. Unlike in the US, discounters in the UK are not quite as entrenched. You can find out if all the predictions were right as the news breaks on...

The markets barely moved when US first-quarter GDP was downgraded last week. The revision, from growth of 0.2 per cent to a 0.7 per cent contraction, wasn’t as bad as expected and many blamed the unusually cold winter. But could US shoppers hold the key to another reason? Next week we get retail sales, and given that consumption makes up two-thirds of the American economy, Alex Frean, our US Business Editor, discusses if shoppers have been spending or saving their money. She also talks about the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Back in the UK, and Richard Fletcher, our Business Editor, examines whether or not we are seeing the death of the supermarket, with Tesco and Sainsbury’s updating the market next week. Finally, Robert Lea, our Industrial Editor, asks if Flybe, the regional airline, can survive or if it will be “bullied” out by the big boys. He also looks at whether FirstGroup should be split up.
