Media UK is a great website with plenty of free information about… er… the media in the UK! In particular have a good look at the forums.
You need to register to view, but it’s worth it – you’ll find some journalists and radio presenters nestling in amongst the anoraks!
And this tongue in cheek article on how (not) to handle a journalist is funny.
It’s so much easier to get publicity when your entire business is based around your marketing. Take the UK’s first topless car wash in Leicestershire.
Not a new idea (the topless bit anyway, I remember a topless barbers in Milton Keynes a few years ago) but brilliantly executed.
And bearing in mind the potential audience, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
