When was the last time you tweeted? Twitter (now X) used to be the most open app. Now many people are engaging with it less if at all. Since it was taken over the app has changed removing blue ticks and charging for Twitter Blue. Less ability to opt out of topics you find troubling. And yet X was the journalists go to for stories, contacts and sharing stories or sourcing exclusives. What does the change in ownership of X mean for journalists and PRs? Where will we gather for all the above? That's the question to be discussed by our outgoing Deputy Chair Genelle Aldred. With special guests Hardeep Matharu, Eva Akase Simpson, Ellie Mcdonald and Barnaby Barron. This session is being hosted Cision UK offices and you can get your tickets here.

Around 700 women participate in Women In Journalism’s mentoring scheme - that is an impressive number! ⭐️ This is an organisation that does a great deal to help launch and grow female talent in journalism and I was honoured to attend their Christmas party hosted at ITN Business this evening. It was a pleasure to hear from Women In Journalism’s new Chair Rachel Corp FRSA who will build on the important work of her predecessors Alison Phillips and Eleanor Mills, as she steers the organisation towards further success. I have been watching their work and their research with great interest over the years. We need more women in journalism and particularly senior leadership roles. Their mentoring programme is now open - check it out! #WomenInJournalism Seahorse Freight Association Genelle Aldred Augusta Anthony Kimberley Hackett Jennifer Mawby Isabel Togoh Blossom Martins (ANIPR) #Journalism #Careers #Leadership #Christmas2023 Kate McMillan Walkers Crisps UK Tesco
