A round-up of all the trending media, marketing and PR stories you shouldn\u2019t have missed this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Happy birthday hashtag<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hashtags\"<\/p>\n

Ten years ago, Chris Messina tweeted \u2018how do you feel about using # (pound) for groups. As in #barcamp [msg]?\u2019 and the rest was history. This week the hashtag turned ten and is now used over 125 million times a day on Twitter alone. Ever wondered where the # came from? Why it\u2019s called \u2018hash\u2019? Or how it\u2019s evolving written language? Thankfully we\u2019ve got you #covered<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\n2. WPP cuts growth forecast<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"WPP\"<\/p>\n

The colossal advertising agency WPP has cut its growth forecast for the second time this year, as Sir Martin Sorrell warned of a global economic slowdown. The announcement caused a sharp fall in the company\u2019s share price. Sorrell said<\/a> the recent election results both sides of the pond, combined with volatile economic conditions in places like China, had affected the global ad market. He also told Sky News that the uncertainty around Brexit\u2019s free movement of people was \u2018the cancer, the problem we have to deal with\u2019.<\/p>\n


\n3. PRCA, CIPR and APPC urge stricter lobbying rule<\/span>s<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Parliament\"<\/p>\n

Following Labour MP Barry Sheerman\u2019s registration as a lobbyist, the PRCA, CIPR and APPC have joined forces<\/a> in calling for rules to be tightened to prevent MPs from working as paid lobbyists. Sheerman\u2019s inclusion on the Register of Consultant Lobbyists has caused concern among those who believe it contravenes the MP\u2019s Code of Conduct which states: \u2018no Member shall act as a paid advocate in any proceeding of the House\u2019.<\/p>\n


\n4. Sarah Smith to replace Andrew Neil on Sunday Politics<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Andrew<\/p>\n

Andrew Neil has stepped down from his role as presenter of BBC One\u2019s Sunday Politics. He will be replaced by Sarah Smith, BBC\u2019s Scotland Editor, who is based in Glasgow. She will present her first episode when the programme returns after the summer recess on 17 September. Neil, who headed up the show since its launch in January 2012, will continue to present This Week and Daily Politics, as well as other projects on the BBC.<\/p>\n


\n5. Edinburgh TV Festival<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Alan<\/p>\n

The Edinburgh Television Festival provides a plethora of highlights and headlines from programme launches to questions over media ethics. Among these: Jon Snow said<\/a> that reporting on Grenfall made him feel he was on the wrong side of the social divide, Channel 4\u2019s creative chief Jay Hunt revealed<\/a> the Great British Bake Off will \u2018break even\u2019 with an audience of three million, and the BBC announced<\/a> the return of the League of Gentlemen and Alan Partridge. Ah-Ha!<\/p>\n
