Employee magazine becomes sacrificial lamb

By Alex Manchester, Editor, The Internal Comms Hub (Australia), Melcrum

If you've been following the UK Black Belt Dojo recently you'll know that Steve Evans, Internal Comms manager at easyJet, has been the guest blogger for April.

Steve has done an excellent job and he's been posting about the battle to save the easyJet staff magazine, Fresh, which has undergone a fair bit of improvement recently but was in the crosshairs due to some difficult times for the airline.

Alas, Steve's battle has come to an end with the CEO's culling of the magazine, despite staff protestations and excellent feedback. Here's a list of Steve's posts on the topic:

1. Is the employee magazine uncool?

2. What would you do?

3. The end is near...

Chin up, Steve, and thanks for the superb and candid posts during your guest blogger spot.

I second that, Alex. Steve's been a fantastic guest blogger. It's refreshing to see such candour - I think as an IC community we're pretty good at sharing our successes, but maybe not so happy to share when times are tough. He was a great participant on Black Belt, too. I'm sorry his guest blogging month is up!
