How ridiculous though; does it mean that at any other time you’re not being honest with me?! Truth and trust How much do we trust in what we read?

News stories on my intranet ‘fall off‘ the front page after two days and ‘disappear’; at least as far as my readers are concerned. Here one day, gone the next. “Did you see that article about our pay offer? No?

About Me

Hi, my name is Wedge,
it really is, and I'm a writer, editor and web publisher, specialising in internal communications and intranet management, with a direct interest in media relations.

I work in the commercial sector and also in the third sector, the voluntary field.

I got my first email address in 1984, six years afore the World Wide Web came to be whatever it is now.

I've been publishing online since 1997, blogging since the platforms were created, and writing about internal communications since 2004. In July 2010 my blog came to be sponsored by Content Formula.

You can follow me on Twitter, if you like that sort of thing, or try a flavour of me.
