A former regional journalist has launched her own public relations firm after moving back to her native county.

Linda Harrison, pictured below, has announced the launch of York-based Linda Harrison PR.

Linda began her career on Brighton daily The Argus before working on national titles, including the Daily Star, as a feature writer.

She has since moved back to her native Yorkshire.

Linda told the York Press: “After hearing so many brilliant business stories, I’m on a mission to make PR a seamless process – and get these stories the press coverage they deserve.

“Entrepreneurs say they get much more than just a PR consultant service when they work with me.

“They also benefit from the insider knowledge, contacts and skills of a trained journalist. After many years of working as a reporter and feature writer in busy newsrooms in London, I’ve seen PR from both sides.

“I’ve learned how to spot inspiring and headline-grabbing stories which might otherwise go untold.”
