----Begins---
Writer, presenter and journalist Martin Sixsmith will be delivering a conference session on the government’s relationship with the public at this year PR Showcase 2003 http://www.prshowcase.net.
Sixsmith will be presenting the conference entitled “Lies, Spies and Old School Ties”, along with David Bickford, former advisor to MI5 and MI6 to PR, public affair affairs and investor relations delegates on the first day [Tuesday 23rd September 2003] of the PR Showcase.
From 1980-97, Sixsmith was a BBC Moscow and Washington correspondent and Newsnight producer. From 1997-02, he worked as Director of Communications and Press Secretary to Harriet Harman, Alistair Darling and Stephen Byers.
Martin Sixsmith, comments, "Spin is today's hot political potato, and Tony and Alastair have frequently burned their fingers on it. At the PR Showcase, I will be looking at the titanic battle between my two former employers, the BBC and the Government, and trying to explain why Number Ten have failed to learn the lessons from so many mistakes".
Richard Weston, Managing Director at Evensis, the event company organising PR Showcase 2003 comments, “We have assembled fantastic speakers for the delegates over the two day event who have a wealth of knowledge to share. There are a variety of conferences and workshops that will satisfy everyone’s requirements, including traditional and digital PR all delivered by experienced and respected speakers.”
