Crain's Manchester Business reports on the debate on how Manchester should grow its creative sector
Core 77 offers some useful tips on how to pitch to the press
Social media is becoming more important to marketers, a survey shows.
And finally, there's been a lot of debate this week on the future of a classic piece of design- the London Underground map, which has been reprinted minus the River Thames. There's some interesting comments on this Flickr page, while the Guardian's Patrick Barkham called the new map an "imbecilic and geographically illiterate new diagram". Meanwhile the BBC's Mark Easton takes a look at how other cities do their underground maps.
That's all for this week - let us know if there are any links you'd like us to share.
