Paul Newman to head up communications for MediaCity
posted Jul 14, 2008 - 06:05 PM
The Drum reports that Paul Newman is to leave his job as Liverpool Culture Company's head of PR and public affairs, to become head of communications at MediaCityUK. As you've probably gathered by now, it's not the Paul Newman you would (no doubt) like it to be.
But it's not all bad news, as Newman is the former director of communications at the Football Association, and has previously managed projects such as the re-development of Wembley Stadium and the England team press office for the 2002 World Cup. Apparently he will begin working for MediaCity (Peel) in October, managing a marketing budget that is apparently estimated to be well in excess of £1m annually.
You can read the full article here, where they have a photo of the real Paul Newman (not the one who has his own range of salad dressings).

Debate about the BBC's staff relocation packages continues to rumble on and on - Liz Hunt at the Telegraph says, "I can't be the only taxpayer with northern credentials who feels insulted by the implication that having to up sticks from the South East is akin to an enforced relocation to Mogadishu or Harare." (full article here). Meanwhile, Andy Spinoza at How-Do offers some relocation advice to BBC staff - "Some media people will find the value, community, and friendliness on offer in the likes of Monton and Eccles more appealing than the fancy nick-nack shops of Didsbury..."
