Allmediascotland.com brings together people interested in media news - mainly people working in the industry, including hundreds of journalists - and organisations looking for a simple and cost-effective means of placing stories in front of the media.

In between, there's a facility for media practitioners to promote themselves and for AMS to provide, directly, a PR service - including words, images and design - for those who'd rather not do it themselves.

Editorially, it is independent and positive. allmediascotland.com celebrates the Scottish media while recognising the importance of constructive criticism. It is not in the business of jeopardising people's livelihoods, but enjoys an occasional laugh. Its news and comments section has always been called 'Spike'; though it is currently less prominently advertised.

The site covers, in the main, the press and broadcasting, with a dash of PR and a smidgeon of marketing and also advertising. It used to cover film, but none too successfully.

We welcome story ideas; indeed, rely on the Scottish media community to take advantage of this resource, to debate the big issues, promote good practice and report what's new.

It was founded in 2003. This is its second re-design
