PR Business drops launch team in move to monthly

By Press Gazette

PR Business has made its editorial team redundant following the decision by the five-month-old weekly to go monthly.

Publisher Geoff Lace confirmed that PR Business editor Eirwen Oxley
Green, reporter Ana Santi and up to six office staff have been made
redundant following the magazine's decision to go monthly.

Lace said: "I don't think it succeeded as a weekly, so the idea is for
it to go monthly. It was very difficult to sell advertising in the
market."

The publisher declined to comment on future plans for the title.

At its launch, PR Business was heralded as a serious contender
to Haymarket's PR Week. Lace set up PR Week in 1984 which Haymarket bought in 1988.
