Responsibilities for the 1995/6 IPA Media Policy Group have been assigned. This year the IPA has shifted emphasis towards television, with four rather than three people covering television. John Perriss, chairman of the group, said: “The realignment recognises the major changes underway within the television sector where IPA input will be required in coming months.”
Alan Brydon takes over responsibility for the IPA Media Awards from Mark Craze, who takes over responsibility for television sales practices. Andy Troullides takes over press sales practices from Nigel Sharrocks who resigned from the group in April; other responsibilities remain unchanged.
