Advance UK Summer
The Foresight News diary on Press Gazette is taking a break over the summer as the news agenda gets a little quieter, so this week we’re highlighting the key events over the next five weeks. We’ll be back on September 4 – in the meantime, subscribers can see our regular updates at www.foresightnews.com.
