I’m currently working on a load of video projects for media and commercial clients including Estates Gazette, as well as a short documentary about Ancoats, art and cultural regeneration. I’m also writing two features for the August issue of North West Business Insider, on the subjects of social housing and planning. Details can be found here and also, somewhat miraculously, here.

Top 100 journalists on Twitter

David Quinn — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 17:28:44 +0000

I’ve made a list of the top 100 journalists on Twitter, assembled by the PR company 10 Yetis. It appears to be based on submissions from PRs saying which journalists are the least painful to deal with and I’m at 45, which is lovely. As far as I can work out the only North West journalists on the nationwide list are Gordon Burns off of North West Tonight and some bloke called Simon Binns.

David Quinn — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:37:31 +0000

My work for EG continues with forthcoming pieces on Manchester, West End offices and the European retail sector. Thoughts and comments to the usual place SVP. Also North West Business Insider have got me working on a piece about office fit-outs and refurbishments for their October issue (deadline 17 September), if you’re interested. Which, although you’d probably deny it, you must be if you’re reading this.
