A round up of the biggest PR, comms and media stories this week including the sexual harassment scandals, a spoilt Bake Off, Ian Katz\u2019s appointment, Fake News and Halloween.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Sexual harassment dominates the news<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The allegations against Harvey Weinstein quickly led to allegations against others in the Hollywood, this week including Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman. But the entertainment industry is not alone in the scandal, a #MeToo<\/a> campaign on social media \u2013 which gave people a chance to share their own experiences of harassment \u2013 followed, and now the allegations have hit the UK\u2019s Government and media.<\/p>\n

A so-called \u2018sleaze list\u2019 (of questionable intent and accuracy), appeared in the media\u00a0before Michael Fallon MP left his role as Defence Secretary amid the allegations, causing a minor reshuffle.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s clear, and obvious to many individuals outside of the mainstream media\u2019s gaze, is that sexism and sexual harassment is rife everywhere. Now that people feel able to share their stories, expect this one to continue to hit the headlines.<\/p>\n

2. Prue Leith spoils the final Bake<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"bake<\/p>\n

The Great British Bake Off has been flying high \u2013 the series, which moved to Channel 4, was expected by some to be a flop but the familiar format and atmosphere in the tent has led to sizeable viewing figures and peak-time audience shares for Channel 4. All was right in the world (if you excuse the fact Liam went home two shows too early #JusticeForLiam<\/a>) before Prue accidentally tweeted the winner 10 hours early.<\/p>\n

Yikes.<\/p>\n

Though she quickly deleted the message, the damage was done. Prue, who was in Bhutan, claimed the time difference was to be blamed, before telling the Press Association: \u2018I\u2019m in too much of a state to talk about it. I fucked up.\u2019 Channel 4 was less concerned (probably due to its record numbers) as Prue, Noel and Sandi will join Paul again for the next series.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Ian Katz appointed Channel 4\u2019s director of programmes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Newsnight,<\/p>\n

BBC Newsnight\u2019s editor, Ian Katz has been appointed<\/a> to the top creative role at Channel 4, following Jay Hunt\u2019s departure in September. While Katz doesn\u2019t have significant programme commissioning experience, he is considered by Channel 4\u2019s CEO Alex Mahon to \u2018live and breathe\u2019 the Channel 4 values. The role is considered one of the most influential in the UK\u2019s media \u2013 Hunt\u2019s departure followed her acquisition of the programme in our second story. Katz starts his new role in January.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Fake News is the \u2018word\u2019 of the year<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Trump<\/p>\n

Collins Dictionary once again announced its word of the year, which follows in-depth research of language trends across millions of sources. The \u2018word\u2019 that has most increased in usage for the last year is \u2018Fake News\u2019. (Yes it\u2019s two words, which has upset a surprising number of people).<\/p>\n

The phrase (that\u2019s better) was thrust into the spotlight by Donald Trump who used it repeatedly throughout his Presidential campaign to attack first the \u2018mainstream media\u2019 and then anyone who disagreed or cast allegations against him. More recently, Fake News has been flipped against the President<\/a>, now describing Russia\u2019s influence on the American election results.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. All Hallows\u2019 Marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Halloween<\/p>\n

The Halloween season is now embedded in British society where people wish each other \u2018Happy Halloween\u2019 and brands and businesses spend increasing amounts on their Halloween tie-ins. On the Vuelio Blog we\u2019ve rounded up\u00a0five of the best campaigns<\/a>, including Google\u2019s heart-warming Doodle (no really), Fanta\u2019s big budget 13th floor experience and the Beano\u2019s investigation into the scariest outfits (pictured).<\/p>\n
