PostScript Media - An Introduction

PostScript Media was set-up in November 2006 as a small company specialising in freelance writing, web design and content, public relations and marketing.

Question: Why is the company called PostScript Media?

Answer: PS are my initials so I thought it appropriate to include them somewhere in the name of the company. PS also stands for Post Script (hence the name). I just put the two words together with two capital  letters - hence PostScript Media was born.

But my thoughts went a little deeper than that. A postscript or PS is usually thought to be an afterthought in a letter, but it is very rarely that. Very often the PS is the most interesting and important part of the letter. It's the bit people want to tell you about but don't want to make it seem as if they are boasting about an achievement etc. After pages of inconsequential bits and pieces they will add something stunning as in PS I forgot to tell you that I'm getting married next month or PS I thought you might like to know that I have just won £5,000 on the lottery so that trip to see you this year is back on. Any bad news will be included in other parts of the letter. So PS is usually good news - need I say more?

Question: What is your background and Qualifications

Answer: I trained as a journalist and joined Eastern Counties Newspapers in the early 1970s, working as a general reporter at a number of places in Norfolk and Suffolk including Lowestoft, Norwich, Cromer and Beccles. I then joined a news agency in Nottingham where I worked on behalf of many of the national daily papers before spending a short time as editor of a weekly newspaper in Derbyshire.

I returned to Norfolk as a sub editor on a series of weekly newspapers and subsequently became sports editor before joining Norfolk Constabulary as its first civilian press and public relations officer in 1989.

I worked for the police until 2006, filling a number of positions including Head of Media, Head of Marketing Operations and E-Communications Manager.

I left the police to pursue outside interests which have included the setting up of PostScript Media. I hold the National Council for the Training of Journalists Proficiency Certificate, a Masters Degree in Professional Development from the University of East Anglia and diplomas in Life Coaching and Sports Psychology.
