Introduction
UKPress was set up during February 2000, as a central
resource where press and PR people could share ideas, make useful
contacts and discuss industry issues. The idea of Paul Douglas
and Jo Chipchase, UKPress aims to make editorial and targeting
roles easier for its members. Although UKPress tends to focus
on the technology sector, communications professionals from
other sectors are welcome to join and widen the debate.
While Paul is responsible for defining the direction of
the list, Jo produces the website (constructive suggestions
are always welcome). The technical side is taken
care of by UKPress' third team member, Robert Shepherd.
