Calling all PRs: language expertise needed for a feature

Just sent this out on Response Source, in case you’ve missed it:

PUBLICATION: Business matters  (Request for information for an article)
JOURNALIST: Bill Hilton (staff)
DEADLINE: 27-September-2008 13:00
QUERY: You Speak-a da Lingo?
Business Matters Magazine, the UK’s leading publication for small and medium enterprises, is seeking to run a feature on the importance of language skills for contemporary business owners and entrepreneurs.

We would like to hear from individuals, institutions and companies with specialist knowledge of foreign languages for business, and a strong track record in the field.

We want to angle the story towards readers who wish to do business in emerging markets. As such, we are particularly interested in hearing from business-oriented specialists in the languages of eastern Europe, Russia, China or the Pacific Rim, or from business people who have boosted their competitive edge by learning a language from one of these regions.

If you think you can help - or can provide a bylined piece of around 800 words on this - please contact Bill Hilton, by email initially, at bhilton@clearsightmedia.co.uk

…or you can fill in the form on my contact page. Cheers!
