120 Landmark Buildings go green
Who says small can’t make an impact? As the image above says, "If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito!" Tourism Ireland has done a fab job over the
past few years arranging for landmark buildings around the globe to go green on
Paddy’s Day. This year, Newstalk tells
us that the Colosseum and others join the list – take a look at the video from
2014 of the ‘greening’ – their ultimate is the Great Wall of China but I was
wowed by Table Mountain in South Africa.
Irish Children’s Digital Experience
Plenty of interesting stuff in this Irish Times piece on “Net
Children go Mobile 2015” report from DIT which surveyed 500 Irish
children. It found that despite an age
barrier of 13, 40% of 11-12 years have an online profile – but that’s down from
51% in 2011. The report deals with
‘stranger danger’, online bullying and access to unsuitable or distressing
content – 1 in 5 say they have accessed the latter.
New Business Editor
The more ‘vintage’ of us PR people will remember when
Vincent Wall was a business journalist – a very good one and always a pleasure
to deal – and then he joined us PR people on ‘the dark side’. Not agency but in-house but let’s not allow
facts to get in the way of a good story! But the Irish Independent tell us that
he’s returning to the fourth estate as the new Business Editor of
Newstalk! We wish him well!
