"Children's Rights Vs Press Freedom - Who Wins?"
Eventy is pleased to be helping Quarriers to organise a
conference taking place on 11th November focussing upon
"Children's Rights Vs Press Freedom - Who Wins?". It is a
national conference taking place at the Forum in Bath and
there has already been a great deal of interest in the
event from both the public and the media.
The media provides the majority of the public with their
window on the world. It is their source of news,
information, gossip, debate and education. The media also
has enormous responsibility in balancing entertainment
and/or the public right to know with social health
and protection for the vulnerable. Where is the correct
balance between the rights of children and the freedom of
the press? All of the debates will have the opportunity
for the audience to participate and question speakers. A
final question and answer session will pull the conference
together with recommendations and future action proposed.
We are delighted that the Rt Hon Tessa Jowell MP will be
joining us as a key note speaker, along with Lynn Geldof,
European Regional Communications Advisor for UNICEF.
Martin Bell - Broadcaster & previously MP for
Tatton, Cheshire - will be hosting our final Q+A session of
the day. There are also a range of organisations involved
ranging from the UK Youth Parliament and Children's Express
to CAFCASS, the British Association of Social Workers
and the Voice of the Listener and Viewer. Delegates will
come from a range of professions and services from
solicitors and charities to social care and press offices.

New heights in online advertising
New heights in online advertising
31/10/2005 onrec.com
The latest IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau) findings show that value of online advertising revenue this year in the UK is set to top £1billion, for the first time.
The findings have been lauded by CEO of the online job-board Yngve Traberg, which recently launched a ground-breaking new website, and looks set to ride the rising tide of online advertising success.
Traberg said: “With the number of online users available, it has now become paramount for companies to have a coherent online advertising strategy. For the job market in particular, the Internet is a powerful tool for making the right connection between employers and would be employees. Clearly the more experienced people are in using the Internet, the faster they will be able to take up the opportunities it provides. Consequently the number of candidates who look at the Internet as their primary source of new career opportunities will increase, as online advertising has.”
The IAB findings, which have been produced in conjunction with the World Advertising Center and PriceWaterhouseCoopers, have highlighted a rise of 62 per cent in online advertising to £490million for the first half of 2005, while in comparison, overall advertising rose by just three per cent.
The findings pinpoint the rise in the number of broadband Internet connections as the reason behind the revenue increase. "The growth in online advertising is showing no sign of slowing down," said Paul Pilkington, from PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
"The Internet is an exceptional medium in that it now acts as a source of entertainment, information and communication for the majority of the
UK population.
"Advertisers are realising this and allocating their budgets accordingly.”
These half-year figures have prompted the IAB to predict online advertising revenue to surpass the £1bn mark.
This it the first time that online advertising has achieved growth above billboard advertising, and with the first-half figures higher than the entire revenue for 2003, showing no signs of change, the online future is looking bright.

Online Recruitment Survey
Article from on-rec - thought would make an interesting read.
A recent survey by the IRS Employment Review has revealed that online recruitment is now the norm for two-thirds of organisations.
According to the survey, in the past year online recruitment methods have gained credibility and are more popular than ever with the ever-increasing number of University graduates.
Submitting a CV online is now the most popular method off applying for a job, and is used by two-thirds of employers. Only 40% of companies are using the traditional paper application form.
The success of the Weybridge-based, award-winning online job board, ClickAJob.co.uk reflects this trend.
Yngve Traberg, ClickAJob CEO, said: "More and more people now have access to the Internet anywhere and at any time. This makes job-hunting a 24/7 business. People can find a suitable job online and then apply for it there and then."

WEST COUNTRY COMPANY CHALLENGES WEBSITE TOP SLOT
WEST COUNTRY COMPANY CHALLENGES WEBSITE TOP SLOT
A WEST COUNTRY company which started from scratch just 18 months ago is celebrating new figures showing it has become the UK’s second most popular legal recruitment website.
Managing director Michelle Jones founded simplylawjobs.com in April 2004, initially trading from her bedroom. She only moved into serviced offices in Bath and took on an additional member of staff six months ago.
Now the site, which currently carries more than 5,000 vacancies at every level in the legal sector, has fought off fierce competition to become the UK’s second biggest law jobs website.
It registered 142,200 visitor sessions in the 30 days to October 31, more than 20,000 ahead of its closest rival and just 24,000 behind the long-established marketleader.
"I am thrilled. These are very encouraging figures which more than justify the blood, sweat and tears – and sheer hard work - of establishing a business in what has to be one of the most competitive sectors in which to work," said Michelle, 33.
"Amazingly simplylawjobs.com has gone from nothing to among the 50,000 most visited websites in the world in the space of just 18 months.
"With the site’s increasing popularity, it can only be a matter of time before we are officially the market leader," she added.
Vacancies on simplylawjobs.com, which range from receptionists to senior partners, are accessed by a fast search facility according to location, area of law and salary.
According to Michelle, one of the main reasons why simplylawjobs.com has proved such a hit with users is that it concentrates on legal vacancies in the regions instead of taking a ‘Londoncentric’ approach.
Editor’s Note: The source for the number of visitor sessions quoted above is metricsmarket.com, the internet competitor intelligence reporting company.
