Quiet News Day 86

Hello,

This week your hosts Scott Douglas and Peter Laing bring together the magic of everything social media, journalism and public relations in this spell binding podcast which is sure to get Dumbledore’s seal of approval.

Yes that’s right the duo talk about Harry Potter author J.K Rowling and her decision to offer her e-books via a dedicated Website rather than i-tunes. If that’s not enough the guys also discuss the latest developments at the Daily Record and Scott vents about how it often takes a world class wizard to find contact details on some of the world’s largest companies websites.

And as if by magic we’ve included links to all the topics discussed in today’s show notes below.
