Peter Marks: Press Officer
PETER MARKS is the press officer for a
top football club. If a television or
newspaper journalist wants to know
anything about the club, Peter gives them
the information.
‘AU the age of 10 T wanted to play
football for England! But I studied science
at university, and then got a job on a daily
newspaper, writing about business and
sport.
I've worked for this club for eight years.
When J started, only one other football
club had a press officer—now almost
every club has one.
beginning I just gave information to a few
local and national newspapers. Today my
phone never stops ringing! Magazines, TV
companies and radio stations from all
over the world want interviews with our
players and manager.
Often, journalists or photographers ask
to meet a player here. That's why my office
is next to the club changing room — it’s easy
for me to find players when they've finished
practising. Newspapers sometimes say
things about football clubs that are wrong,
so I teach all our players how to answer
difficult questions. Then I'm happy to let
them speak to journalists without me.

you like?
