Hi members!
Today, we have a sitdown with Catherine McGuinness, who leads the City of London, aka the group that represents London’s financial community. Brexit poses serious threats to the well-being of her constituents, and she has much to say about the process thus far and what lies ahead.
We also have a deeply revealing infographic that charts a troubling trend: the rise of the Brexit “leave” movement with the increase in immigrants to the UK.
Our Insider View feature this week reveals the complex relationship between the press and a company’s PR apparatus. If you want to hear from a journalist about what your company is doing right (and wrong) with its PR strategy, this is where you’ll find it.
Over at Private Key, we’re looking at the complicated history behind a recent acquisition by Coinbase, a leading digital-currency exchange. The acquisition in question, Neutrino, has roots in a predecessor linked to the team that killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
On Friday, we’re going to have a live, members-only video conference call about Brexit with this week’s field guide author, Eshe Nelson. Come ready to ask questions! The 30-minute call will start at 11 am ET/4 pm GMT on Friday, March 8 at this link.
If you use Google Calendar, you can add the call to your calendar here. Login info is in the invitation. If you’re on another calendar, don’t worry—we’ll be adding more integrations in the weeks ahead.
For those who want to call in from their phone, dial in to +1 888 240 2560 and enter meeting code 722 994 440.
