National journalist Rosie Boycott has joined the impressive line-up of speakers on Sauce Consultancy’s ‘Communications Hub’ at this year’s major sustainability event Futuresource.
Keen environmentalist Rosie, who was the first female editor of a national daily broadsheet when she headed The Independent in 1996, will give a presentation on the final day of the three-day event at ExCel in London.
She will talk about the common myths surrounding media relations that make the industry wary of talking to journalists and emphasise the need for the industry to talk in plain English.
The founding editor of Spare Rib and Virago Publishing in the 1970s, Rosie also edited The Daily Express in 1998 and worked on The Daily Mail, The Sunday Telegraph and Harpers & Queen.
As well as writing several books, including her own autobiography A Nice Girl Like Me, she has appeared on TV and radio programmes and been a regular on Start the Week on Radio 4 and Question Time on BBC1.
She now writes for The Oldie Magazine as travel editor, is a media advisor for the Council of Europe and Chair of the London Food Board.
The impressive array of speakers will be offering free tips and advice on how best to engage the media, and freelance journalist and media trainer Steve Bustin will also be giving free media training to help the sector prepare for those nail-biting interviews.
Futuresource is a three-day exhibition and conference organised by the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) and the Environmental Services Association for the sustainable waste, recycling and resource management sector.
The event will be held June 9 to 11 and further information can be found at www.futuresourceuk.com. The Communications Hub is Stand D12.
