The construction press fulfils a crucial role informing and setting the agenda for change. It relies on providing a service that its readers are prepared to pay for, which should be accurate, unambiguous and timely information on the key issues facing the sector. Such a service requires a high degree of professionalism, yet all too often we dismiss journalists and their publications as biased or ill-informed.
Colin Marrs is the Editor for one of our oldest industry publications, Construction News. Colin talks about the processes that his and his team’s work must pass through to ensure quality. Colin talks about the drive for truth and the structure that enables this at Construction News, with their ability to focus on the complex issues facing the sector.
