Swansea Bay media gets bank governor boost
Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, is to highlight the important role local newspapers have played in keeping the public informed during the financial crisis.
His support will come as a boost to local papers such as the South Wales Evening Post, Llanelli Star and South Wales Guardian.
Mr King was invited to write a piece to celebrate Local Newspaper Week (10-16 May).
It'd be good PR for the papers to report Mr King's support. Business clients, in particular, will be interested.

Media boosts Swansea Bay Super League first
Thursday, April 1, sees the first professional rugby league game in Swansea Bay.
Super League outfit the Crusaders - complete with Gareth "Alfie" Thomas - are set to face London rivals Harlequins RL at Neath RFC citadel The Gnoll from 7.30pm.
It's great news for the area and great for the Crusaders, coached by league giant Brian Noble, that they can make a splash so far away from their new Wrexham home.
Andy Pearson Publicity was engaged to help publicise this evangelical sporting mission to South Wales and readers of the South Wales Evening Post over the past few days won't have missed three front page ads for the game.
They were one of the publicity options taken by the club's marketing man Richard Jones. Others included special ticket offers into some of the area's biggest employers, including Swansea Council thanks to internal communications manager Debbie Williams.
Those who've not seen pro-rugby league before are encouraged to attend - it's a tremendous sport played by incredible athletes.
Ball-in-play time is huge, the try-count is generous and the collisions are muscular and make the hardest of us wince.
Moreover, Wales' only Engage Super League club have made a styong start to the 2010 campaign and I predict a healthy win over the Quins.
Get there in good time ... the Engage Super League authorities like to see colourful family entertainment before kick-off.
Crusaders prop Mark Bryant told Media Master: "The people down in South Wales were fantastic when we were based there last year - they gave us some amazing support.
"Some of them still travel to Crusaders games, both home and away, which is phenomenal, so it's good to go back down there. We're really looking forward to playing at The Gnoll."
Alfie, by the way, is likely to wear the full-back's No 1 jersey.
Ticket prices for Crusaders v Harlequins start at just £8 (adults) and £4 (kids) - great value. Call 0871 221 9511.

Swansea Bay media scene preps for wedding season
South Wales Evening Post telesales manager Amanda Nicol has let me know the ad prices of a forthcoming new special.
It should provide a decent promotional opportunity for any business connected with weddings.
The paper's South Wales Wedding Planner magazine is due out in June, edited by Swansea Life editor Wyn Jenkins. Amanda says that 7,000 will be printed, on sale for £1 across Swansea Bay in supermarkets and newsagents. It will be free to advertisers, key wedding suppliers and fairs.
A glossy A4 publication, it's due to feature 112 pages of info, style tips and beauty advice.
The magazine format should mean a long shelf life - readers will keep it a lot longer than they would a traditional newspaper supplement.
Ad prices ain't half bad for a niche publication with a tight geographical spread and with the daily marketing push of the Evening Post.
A double page spread is £562.50 (exc vat) for the launch edition and £450 if you take one in the follow-up October edition.
Full pages are £343.75 (£275) and half pages £225 (£180).
Premium rate pages such as the back and inside cover are available as are directory listings and £25 hyperlinks from the sister website, http://www.southwalesweddingplanner.co.uk/. Already on the website, incidentally are Smooch Wedding Rings and household heating experts Calor.
If your business is bridal gowns, hair, beauty, photography, wedding transport, jewellery, floristry or venues, give me a shout to discuss your options ... and a few tips on how to get the best out of this opportunity.
