'Trendy' Brighton is a new media mecca

I am delighted to say that the city of Brighton & Hove is on its way to becoming Britain's major centre for IT, creative and media industries. With a trendy reputation that appeals to creatives and mavericks, a younger population than the regional average and a well-educated workforce boosted by an uncommon number of university graduates that remain in the city after their studies, Brighton has all the attributes of a creative hub. For us who live here this is no surprise. But it's good to see that the fruits of a council-led strategy are being recognised. (Via FT.com)
