Was this the best-ever regional press Tweet?

From the latest collection of Friday Funnies on HTFP comes this gem from Worcester News editor Kevin Ward.


Has there ever been a better Tweet by a member of the regional press? Let us know on editor.htfp@and.co.cuk.

Liveblogging the Society of Editors conference

HoldtheFrontPage is at Stansted today covering the Society of Editors conference, the biggest media gathering of the year. You can follow our live updates via our Twitter feed, Journalism News.

A job too far

Credit crunch, recession, economic downturn - sadly all expressions which feature heavily in today's news.

As a result, job hunting within the press and media industry has become increasingly difficult for those seeking career progression or a new, post-redundancy job.

It seems, however, that such pressures and constraints aren't weighing too heavily on the mind of one regional press job candidate.

Check out this "tweet" from Worcester News editor Kevin Ward, posted earlier today. It seems that some people out there are still benefiting from the luxury of choice!!

The joys of Twitter

As well as being one of the best observers of the national political scene either inside or outside the Lobby - check out his blog Outside the Bubble - David Higgerson is an enthusiastic Twitterer in his role as Trinity Mirror's head of multimedia.

Many journalists already follow his Twitter feed - but we thought this "tweet" during a recent train journey between Birmingham and Manchester deserved a slightly wider audience.
