The Guardian’s guide to the 100 “most powerful figures in one of the UK’s most vibrant
industries” has been published as the MediaGuardian 100.
Candidates are judged on
three criteria – “their cultural, economic and political clout in the UK.” The list
is published in print and on the web, although you will need to register (at no 
charge) to access the latter.

The list has been drawn up by a panel of “media watchers” from politics, journalism,
advertising, PR and the internet. “Our ambition”, say the Guardian, “is to take 
a snapshot of the individuals who run or influence the UK media in 2005.”

So, it is not exactly a rich list, but there are some wealthy people on the list,
many of whom are already actively engaged in charity work as patrons or supporters.
Perhaps the person most engaged is film-maker and Comic Relief founder Richard Curtis,
ranked number 50, who is taking the whole of 2005 off to charity work. He is the
only member of the list that we could see with “charity fundraiser” in his job description.

The list has changed considerably since 2004. There are 35 new entrants and only
three people retain the same position from last year’s list.
