The closure of More magazine has been heralded by feminists as a great thing as it’s a magazine that makes young girls feel bad about their body image, whilst others are mourning its demise as the outlets available for female writers to cut their teeth on, shrivels just a little more.
More magazine was a foundation of my youth, and whilst giggling at position of the fortnight at the back of my...

In today’s budget, one tech story that will most likely get revisited is the recent LTE (“4G”) spectrum auction in the UK which failed to hit the revenue estimate that had been budgeted for by HM Treasury. While £3.5 billion had been forecast (itself well short of the £22.5 billion that the 3G auctions raised in 2000), last month’s auction raised just £2.3 billion.
Criticism is now being...

After nearly 30 years in the PR business, and with apologies to my clients, you would have thought that I might have an answer to that. But truth be told, I am as confused as my relatives have always been when I try to explain what I do for a living. Where does influence stop and promotion begin? How does earned work with owned and when did we begin to do paid? Sometimes I...

There is a common misconception in our field that media relations is all about your contacts; that journalists write about the story you pitch more or less because of your personal relationship with them.If only it were that easy. After 10+ years as a professional journalist at a wide range of major publishing houses, it would really have made MY current job easier.Of course, knowing a journalist...

Every trade show the same debate rages: are Booth Babes still relevant? And this CES is no different. Last year the BBC waded in on the debate asking if the so called Booth Babes are a reflection on gender relations in technology, and have revisited it at this year’s show, adding that critics feel the Booth Babe presence is degrading to women and contributes to the fact that so few women...

When I first became addicted to Chelsea Football Club in the late 1960s I little thought that I would one day complain about being able to watch my team live during working hours from the other side of the world competing in the World Club Championships.
In the early days of my addiction television coverage was limited to Match of the Day which was normally shown after I was sent to bed on...

When I mention to people that I spent a week in Azerbaijan recently for a conference, I am usually met with puzzled looks. Not many people can easily locate the capital Baku on a world map - it is well and truly off the tourist trail and an unlikely destination for anyone other than oil men.
But for a few days earlier this month, Baku became the focal point of a debate on the future of the...

Back in 2002 the FT used to dedicate half a page every day to the subject of technology. The .com companies were feted, the trends analysed and the CEOs lauded. The FT was not alone and national newspapers and business publications across Europe would devote sections to technology news. But with the Nasdaq crash the pages were pulled as the powers that be at the FT and elsewhere...

One does wonder at the wisdom of Toyota’s new realdeal ad following this week’s news of a two million car safety recall and the 2010 recall of 10 million cars. The moment where the driver crashes through the glass wall is indeed spectacular, but they really should make clear if this was caused by the Toyota steering wheel fault or the Toyota accelerator lock problem.
