Thanks PRAware, so just as we never know who writes the words in a newspaper we also need to assume that we cannot know who has made the media. I’m thinking there’s a business in making unbranded yet rather shoddy quality vids for pr customers – just so they fit in with the ones currently being made by most newspapers.

I wonder if the Birmingham mail’s or internet monitoring found this post and they just never quite got round to correcting my misapprehension.

Ah, wouldn’t it be nice if The Birmingham Mail could take credit for this video… but they can’t and shouldn’t.

It was actually created by MG’s PR firm and distributed to local media as part of a press pack promoting the start up of the production line at Longbridge. Very forward thinking and, as you say, the video is excellent.

All that The Mail had to do was upload it. Shame they did not think to mention where they got it from.
