This table lists, in chronological order, staff members who have entered profiles into their 'Media Profile' table, and provides links for you to preview, edit, and publish their profiles.

Names marked with New or Updated or those who have a Publish button in the 'Press Office Last Update' column need editing and/or publishing. All other entries in the list have current, published profiles.

New indicates that the staff member has entered a profile for the first time, which has not yet been seen by the Press Office.
