I’ve been reliably informed that the website was only ever developed to a Beta stage, and the supplier refused to take it further until long overdue invoices were paid – they never were. An interest-free payment scheme was extended to PR Business along with plenty of goodwill, however, that goodwill was exploited and PR Business reneged upon the agreement. I believe a similar scenario occurred with the printed magazine too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28401170.post-1153380937467751002006-07-20T08:35:00.000+01:002006-07-20T08:35:00.000+01:00Just speculating..but you've got to think, haven't...Just speculating..but you've got to think, haven't you, that Farrington would have had a 'who the bloody hell do they think they are, after all we've done for them, blah, blah, hurumph, hurumph, I'm off down the club for a large Scotch' moment when PR Business gave him some stick, wouldn't you?....the world's leading....https://www.blogger.com/profile/04151866935732424950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28401170.post-1153342016810440212006-07-19T21:46:00.000+01:002006-07-19T21:46:00.000+01:00I guess you're just speculating about Farrington p...I guess you're just speculating about Farrington putting the screws on because he took personal offence to the story? If you're not and you have the evidence, then surely the board of the CIPR have to fire him for inappropriate use of his position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28401170.post-1153313188864775982006-07-19T13:46:00.000+01:002006-07-19T13:46:00.000+01:00Christ!

I posted about the closure and wondered if the CIPR free-to-members-deal was involved in the decision.<BR/><BR/>From what you say it seems like there was a lot establishment backslapping involved.<BR/><BR/>I know the website was crap but I actually liked the direction the mag took and at least it was prepared to put its neck on the line over things like the Colin Farrington debacle. Not even ...the world's leading... rose to that challenge.<BR/><BR/>I personally think that a monthly just won't work. CorpComms is an ok mag but I'm certain we don't need another one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
