WERE YOU INVOLVED IN A PMA POSTGRAD COURSE?
2008 marks 20 years of PMA's Postgraduate Diploma in Magazine Journalism, which is a great excuse for a party. It's being held in London on 5 September, and we're inviting all our alumni (of which there are more than 400), tutors, those who have been on our editors' panels, and anyone who has ever had anything to do with the course over the years. If this includes you, we'd love to hear from you. Call Vicky on 01480 280 238, or email: vicky.chandler@pma-group.com
Practical PR
"This was an interesting back to basics workshop that refreshed my skills and understanding of PR."
- Berghaus
ATTRACT LONDON IS EXCELLENT
Attract London, a magazine created by students from PMA’s summer 2007 Postgraduate Diploma in Magazine Journalism, has won an Award of Excellence at CiB’s Communic8 Awards 2008.
The judges were astonished to discover the magazine was not a commercial publication, but a one-off produced from nothing in just six weeks as part of PMA's course.
One commented: "You couldn't have guessed that it wasn't a commercial trade magazine."
The magazine and its accompanying website, produced by just 12 people, was aimed at those working in London's attractions and tourism industry.
