Q&A: Why business desks need good news now, and how to find it

Despite global events, there are reasons to be cheerful and grounds for hope in PR, markets, the City and journalism. Veteran business journalist Simon English joins us to discuss why not all the news is bad, the type of news business desks in the UK are looking for now and where the opportunities are for PRs to sell in stories quickly.

We’ll be joined by stalwart financial journalist Simon English to explore how he approaches the search for a good news story, and finds reasons to be cheerful, particularly when covering the Square Mile. He’ll show that even when the outlook looks dismal, there is often a positive PR narrative to be told.
