Here is a mixed bag of links to websites that you might find of interest. If you want to suggest any others, we're always interested in new sites - contact us.
Liz Male Consulting is not responsible for the content of anyone else's website (unless, of course, we created it for them!)
Institute of Public Relations - the professional institute for PR practitioners. Also check out CAPSIG (www.ipr.org.uk/groups) for news and events for PR professionals in construction and property. Brand Republic - news and information on PR, marketing, advertising, direct marketing and new media. All About Branding - a fantastic collection of articles and ideas about managing and shaping brands. Adslogans Unlimited - check out the advertising slogan 'Hall of Fame' and get tips on how to create some of your own. PR Watch - US site that exposes the 'activities of secretive, little known propaganda-for-hire firms that work to control political debates and public opinion'. Riveting stuff. Urban 75 - George Monbiot's 'Activist's Guide to Exploiting the Media'. Don't ever assume an unhappy public will be a silent one. Hold The Front Page - regional news portal and Europe's best journalism site in the NetMedia Awards 2002. Ananova - the Press Association's excellent online news service. Building - going strong since 1843 and still the best-regarded weekly magazine for the building industry. Construction Plus - the news portal from Emap Construct, including access to the archives of The Architect's Journal, Construction News and New Civil Engineer. Stephen Wright - highly recommended portrait, corporate and PR photographer. Grant Smith - frankly, one of the very best specialist architectural, construction and industrial photographers you could ever hope to commission. Common Errors in English Usage - online version of a very useful little book by Paul Brians, Professor of English at Washington State University. The Economist Style Guide - a comprehensive guide to English usage, as given to all journalists at The Economist. The Times Style & Usage Guide - online version of the book published in January 2003, plus quick access to useful sections on titles and politics. Guardian Style Guide - less formal than The Times or The Economist, so worth a look if you're writing for a less 'traditional' audience.
Honor Society of Leap Year Babies - in recognition of the very special qualities of people born on the 29 February. The Wordspy - new words and words used in new ways. One of my favourites is 'soul proprietor' - 'a businessperson or entrepreneur who balances work with emotional and spiritual growth'. Sounds about right to me. Wordwizard - ever wondered where the word 'hoity-toity' came from? Wordwizard is a fascinating site, full of information on the origins of English words and phrases. Stoke Goldington Steam Rally - our local claim to fame is one of the country's most vibrant and successful country fair attractions - the annual Steam Rally every May which attracts over 25,000 visitors to our lovely village. Don't miss it! Stoke Goldington Association - the history of our village and online tour. Adbusters - culture jammers, environmentalists, anti-consumerism campaigners, design innovators and organisers of TV Turnoff Week and Buy Nothing Day. Online Guide to Dream Interpretation - everything you need to know about those weird dreams in which you're flying naked down the street. The Tom Phillips website - about the work and brilliant mind of a true Renaissance man. Emma Squire - a Devon based painter and mosaic artist, and fellow Exeter University and Fishburn Hedges alumna. Gifted by Sophie Appleton - a delightful gift basket delivery service and the most wonderful way to surprise family and friends. |
