No, not the above neo-post-punk quartet (maybe next time?).
This will be an entirely different but just as pretty quartet of regional newspaper editors from the Trinity Mirror publishing group.
As part of their training here in Birmingham with Paul Bradshaw, they will be popping down to the BSMC this Friday (Jan 30) to find out more about social media and how they might be able to use it at their titles.
They are:
Mark Thomas: Editor of the Liverpool Daily Post
Andrew Campbell: Executive Editor of the Liverpool Echo
Colin Patterson: Editor of the Sunday Sun in Newcastle
Charles Barker: Executive Editor of The Coventry Telegraph
Please do come along and say hello to them – I think they’ll be surprised by some of the opinions you have on the future of the media.
Also, don’t forget the lovely Bruce Lawson, Opera evangelist, will also be at the Cafe to represent this month’s coffee sponsors: Opera Developers Network.
Should be good!
