Is it actaully, like, a big business type thing? i always thought it was just people running it in their spare time really? do the mods get paid?

some mods and even posters get paid, you will have got an email you had to sign up to for evaluation and then people were chosen as paid contributors.

Thankyou kindly!

I know im new but dont worry im an actual enthusiast and not just a 'cool story bro' scrub!

Wanted to know because im trying to find somewhere around S Yorkshire where i'll enjoy doing a six month project (basically six month placement building a portfolio of material that i have done for the organisation i have chosen) for my final year at university. Damn it! Next company on my list in Ginetta which are handily based in Leeds. Lets see if they're willing to take on a plucky young student to write press releases, create launch events etc etc!

Doubt it.

Don't forget that PH is owned by Haymarket... or at least that was the name on my last PPP payment slip...

True and they do have offices around the UK but all the publications that i was interested in are at Teddington!

The office in Teddington was chosen as it shared a name with the site founder, Ted.

I heard it used to be called Freddington, but was renamed after Ted bought it using the vast amount of cash he got from Haymarket..

Always used to be the Adelaide, but that was pre-PH so they have probably dragged them downhill
