A phoenix from the ashes

December 8, 2009

A few weeks ago, Attinger Jack was contacted by Media Week to inform us that the lunch we had planned with them might not be worth attending.  Why?  The magazine was shutting its doors and closing down immediately.  Cue much gnashing of teeth across the media industry as Media Week was really the only title that truly represented the sector.

Even worse was that we were told all the ‘marketing & media’ Haymarket journalists had to re-apply for their jobs with the headcount being reduced by one third. 

It was therefore with relief that this week we heard Sara Kimberley had retained her position as news reporter and Harriet Dennys had been promoted to Editor of Media Week Online.  Over the past two years both Sara and Harriet have written stories about Attinger Jack and AJ interactive and we’re really pleased for them both.

Good luck from all of us in Bath and London.
