The new Editorial Design group set up by Paul Harpin (Haymarket) and Jeremy Leslie (John Brown, Magculture blog) didn’t manage to get off the ground on Nov 22. However, a Christmas drink is planned at IPC’s Blue Fin building on December 10 and Neville Brody is to join a debate next year.
The Periodicals Training Council has launched a careers guide, Mag Scene. It’s full of tips for students or anyone interested in a career in magazines and covers a range of sectors and job roles, from media law to creative advertising. The free, 68-page booklet will be sent to universities, careers advisors, schools and publishers. Ruth Ganthony, training administrator at PTC, interviewed people in the industry to profile the job roles in consumer, business, specialist, customer, data and online publishing. The glossary came from Magforum.com. Details from Ruth on 020 7400 7570.
