Jon Slattery: End in sight for Press Gazette Limited creditors
Wednesday, 29 October 2008, 11:24
Missed this few weeks ago: "A report to creditors of Press Gazette Limited, the company set up by Piers Morgan and Matthew Freud when they took over the magazine from Quantum Publishing, is expected to go out in the next four to five weeks from the administrators. PGL was put into administration in November 2006." Wonder how the Grey Cardigan feels about this…
Press Gazette: Doctor’s warning: ‘Poor quality of British journalism is a serious public health issue’

"In an interview for this month’s print edition of Press Gazette, [Ben] Goldacre has condemned journalists for fueling what he calls the “MMR hoax” by giving widespread coverage to Doctor Andrew Wakefield’s claims that MMR jabs caused autism. He points out that vaccination rates have dropped from 92 per cent to 73 per cent prompting serious disease outbreaks since Wakefield’s research was first reported in 1998."

Adam Tinworth: "When I heard that Press Gazette was switching to publishing once a month, with a features-led magazine, I thought it sounded like a good plan. It was exactly the sort of solution that could save a title - moving upmarket with a more analytical bent. How much to subscribe? £115. That's £7.67 per issue on the current "15 for the price of 12" offer or an eye-watering £9.58 without the offer. That's frankly insane. They're either relying on corporate subscriptions - not a good idea in the current financial climate - or they seriously over-estimate how much disposable income the average journalist has."
Full disclosure time: New job

As those who stalk me on Twitter or Facebook already know, yesterday was my final day working at Press Gazette.
Next Thursday, I will be joining Emap as online editor of Retail Week. There are some interesting digital plans afoot at Emap, so I’m very excited to be part of it.
I’ll continue watching developments in online journalism on this blog. But of course my move to Emap will limit what I can and do blog about what is going on there, that everything on this blog is my personal opinion and that nothing here necessarily reflects the views or options of my new employers.

"Journalists should be able to keep their own trade paper afloat - but this will be Press Gazette's final issue as a weekly publication. Why has it become such a poisoned chalice, asks former editor Ian Reeves"

Rob: "My first interview was Jeffrey Archer in 1986 for the Wimbledon News where I started as a reporter. That is also where I met Piers Morgan. Both are criminally insane egomaniacs who really should be on anti-ego-inflammatory medication."
