The autumn edition of Mumbles Community Times is the latest publication to publish some professional guidance from South Wales lawyer Peter Lynn.
The senior partner in Swansea firm Peter Lynn & Partners uses the chunky little glossy to focus on preventing legal problems in the marriages of busy professional couples.
Advice and guidance given through the media in this way carries great weight in the eyes of the readership. It’s good PR for the business.
Here’s the CT feature.
Matrimonial Matters Mumbles Community Times
Hard-working professionals often find their home lives under strain. Here, Swansea solicitor Peter Lynn explains why early action and expert advice are crucial in any relationship breakdown.
The pressures of modern life, from our beauty-obsessed mainstream media to the random nature of alcohol-fuelled nights on the tiles, mean many pressure points every day.
Who hasn’t argued over the ironing duties, the amount spent on a sports tour or the need for dad to spend more time with the kids and less time at work?
The niggles can build up and can eventually lead to an irreparable falling-out.
Bickering
The result – even in an “amicable” split – is often bickering over family assets such as the house and cars, quibbles over complex pension issues (especially in the uniformed services) and concerns about the children’s future.
At Peter Lynn and Partners we have a fabulous team of lawyers who specialise in matrimonial matters and they regularly deal with cases of difficulty amongst those working in fields such as the military, 999 services, medicine, accountancy, law and finance.
We encourage mediation and communication at the earliest possible stage of a major marital dispute.
Services
Don’t delay – get in touch. We’re here to prevent legal problems.
For more information on the difficult issue of divorce and separation, or to find out more about the range of services available at Peter Lynn and Partners, phone us on 01792 450010 or log on to http://www.peterlynnandpartners.co.uk/.

Celebrate Swansea’s grassroots!
The latest magazine to grace the Swansea Bay media scene will be officially launched soon – and you’re all invited.
Nigel Dudley, the man behind The Eye on Gorseinon, has issued a general invitation to the event at Celtic Mitsubishi, Gorseinon, from 6-8pm on October 21.
He promises light refreshments – it’s teatime, Nigel, so I hope there’s a mountain of them – and a valuable networking opportunity.
Advertisers in his first issue, being distributed free door to door as I write, include Swansea law firm Peter Lynn and Partners, Jenkins Photography and Bartlett Carpentry and Joinery.
Great
Nigel tells me: “It’d be great to have as many people there as possible.
“I’ve given out hundreds of invitations to local businesses and expect between 50 and 100 guests.
“It’ll be a good way of meeting new business contacts and will include a fascinating talk by Marianne Pettifor who’s one of Swansea’s leading lights in sales and customer service.”
Nigel, incidentally, is also the driving force behind Swansea Valley mag Valley View and sister title Neath Gnolledge.
They’re mainly advertorial-based glossies and Nigel likes to prove their worth to his clients by offering a service which tracks response rate via unique phone numbers.

Media man's eye on Swansea
The Swansea media market has been strengthened by a new addition.
Eye on Gorseinon is a free magazine targeting one of the city's great working class satellite towns.
It's just out and is a mix of traditional advertising and paid-for promotional editorial.
Succeeded
The man behind it is Nigel Dudley who, for the past few years, has succeeded with similar formats in the Swansea Valley (with Valley View) and a little further east with Neath Gnolledge.
Those living in Gorseinon should soon see a copy flutter through their letter boxes.
Others will be able to pick up a copy on advertisers' premises and at other high-footfall places.
Reinvention
Nigel has an interesting concept and fits nicely into the grassroots scene for local media reinvention.
Others - such as the Pontardawe-based Community Magazines, the Mumbles and West Swansea Community Times titles, and Lesley Williams' The Bay magazine, perform a similar function in a variety of ways. A surprisingly wide variety considering their reasonably narrow briefs.
Eye on Gorseinon debut advertisers, incidentally, include Swansea solicitor Peter Lynn and Partners, charity The Pettifor Trust, Bartlett Joinery and Carpentry and Grovesend-based Jenkins Photography.

Video PR for Wales’ YouTube generation
If you didn't know it already, the future of PR across Wales is multi-media.
Public relations practitioners will continue to target traditional print and broadcast offerings to build reputations - but there's already much more besides.
Two days in the company of Nathalie McDermott, of On Road Media, reaffirmed this certainty.
Dedicated
One day was dedicated to podcasting - the art of delivering messages and starting conversations on the web through digital audio.
The other did the same for video blogging.
Both are important as businesses of all hues battle to drive traffic to their websites.
Important
I see the latter as most important such is the visual nature of modern life.
So video will now be integrated into my thinking on everything from networking events to media campaigns.
The opportunity came for a trial run on Saturday with a visit to South Gower RFC on behalf of Welsh law firm Peter Lynn and Partners, one of the club's sponsors.
Check out the release by clicking here and the video here. OK, so the video may not be Spielberg, but it's an important step in the evolution of my own services.
Hopefully too, an accompanying photo will be used soon in the South Wales Evening Post.

Swansea PR booster from Community Times
Lorna Davies was on form when we sat down to discuss PR and marketing opportunities for some Swansea businesses yesterday.
One of the two women behind the city's pair of Community Times titles, she exuded confidence in the magazines but - equally importantly - excitement and pride at being involved.
Mumbles Community Times, helmed by Joanne Caulfield, has now clocked up well over half a decade on the Swansea media scene. That's some track record and suggests that it has found a useful little niche.
Its newer sister publication focuses on Sketty, Uplands, Dunvant, Killay, Upper Killay and Tycoch. It's been around for a year, was originally tabled as a 48-pager but has since gone up as high as 72 pages.
Another title is planned.
High footfall
Between them, the A5 bimonthly glossies hit around 10,000 homes through door-to-door delivery; another 2,500 are made available for free pick-up in high footfall places such a hotels, shops, cafes, restaurants and surgeries.
They mix editorial and advertising steadily in a lifestyle-oriented manner. Existing advertisers include the Village Hotel, Swansea, solicitors Peter Lynn and Partners, SIP Financial Management and builders Barber & Co.
Columnists have included the Yummy Mummy aka Victoria Blandford, BBC TV Wales rugby pundit Stuart Davies and cosmetic medical specialist Stephen Bassett, of Shape Cymru.
My favourite remains the junior sport player profile - a page of none-too-searching questions posed to a young local rugby or soccer starlet.
One of this year's featured Mumbles Rangers football six-year-olds was Charlie Smith.
Q Favourite teacher?
A Mrs Hurley.
So there you are, Mrs H - proof that promotion in Community Times works!

PR roller coaster - all in a Swansea day's work
When you're trying to enhance the profile of Welsh business through the medium of PR it can be a roller coaster ride.
Yesterday was a case in point. Going about Effective Communication everyday business in Swansea, activities moved swiftly between highs and lows.
More precisely, my public relations tasks switched rapidly from helping delighted solicitor Peter Lynn sponsor a Gorseinon charity gig by Swansea bands Doctor Watson, Freeflow and Honeyslave to being instructed to help manage expected media interest in the sad tale of a business collapse.
The day had begun on a high as the South Wales Evening Post used with great prominence a commentary on financial prudence by Richard Croydon, of Effective client Brewin Dolphin.
They're one of the UK's most successful personal investment management operations and the feature was based on sound expertise.
Crisis management
The day went on to bring a hook-up with a down-in-the-dumps businessman who needed some crisis management.
His company has had a little difficulty with the courts and, pleasant guy that he is, now seeks to undergo a programme of rebuilding the trust and goodwill of his community.
We'll ensure that, punishment over, he'll look back in a few months and thank his pal who recommended Effective to him.
To end on a high, Robert Lloyd Griffiths of the Wales IoD, was in demand from BBC Wales.
They invited him along to their Llandaff studios to comment on a key issue and he was thrilled to do so, keeping his profile high with it.
Robert also tipped me off about a BBC Radio Wales slot he has coming up this Monday. He'll be rising early to be the morning's newspaper reviewer on the station's breakfast show.
Good stuff, Robert - it's a shame that everyone's not on such a roll at the same time!

There's an art to magazine success
It's good to see two Effective Communication friends benefit from exposure in one of Swansea's new breed of community magazines.
Near neighbours the Village Hotel and Peter Lynn and Partners have substantial presences in the August issue of The Bay. Both are impressed by the good-looking nature of the journal, a football programme-sized free which last clocked 88 pages.
The hotel takes a full-page ad extolling the virtues of its Christmas offerings: "Gold? Frankincense? More!"
The solicitors use a two-page advertorial penned by partner Sophie Pincott and flagging up the firm's family services.
The elegance of The Bay can be largely attributed to designer Simon Williams whose inventive way with advertisements has impressed since issue one last year.
This month's highlights include a hand-drawn illustration of hotel and restaurant Norton House by night. The image is like something from a sumptuously colourful 1930s railway poster for weekend trips by GWR to the Cornish Riviera.
Meanwhile, Angela's seaside shop - specialising in crepes and waffles for visitors to Caswell beach, offers a different style of fun factor with imagery reminiscent of Britain's traditional saucy postcards.
A cafe in Southgate continues with its eyecatching Enid Blyton style drawing of a family picnic. "Boy: Crikey! There's no food left. Mum: Never mind, we'll all go to the Three Cliffs Coffee Shop."
When seeking exposure in the print media it's worth first of all checking that the title itself takes pride in what it delivers in it money-spinning advertising space. If it features irresistibly attractive pages then it's safe to feel positive.
After all, when did you last see an ugly ad in Tatler or Vogue?
