Press Release                                                  20 December 2007

                              Deal Group Media plc

                             ("DGM" or "the Group")

                                 Board Changes



Further to the announcement on 12 December 2007 detailing the sale of a majority
stake of the UK business to Isco Technical Services Ltd ("ITS"), Deal Group
Media plc announces that, as the Group places greater focus on the Asia Pacific
region, the requirement for UK based Board Directors has been reduced.

John Porter (Chairman), Lord Stone of Blackheath (Non-Executive Deputy
Chairman), Paul Alexander (Non-Executive Director) and Martin Chalmers (Finance
Director), will step down from the Board.

David Lees, currently a Non-Executive Director of the Board, will be assuming
the position of Non-Executive Chairman.  David is a qualified chartered
accountant with many years' experience in the public company arena and has been
a founding director of several public companies.

In addition to Adrian Moss, ACA (Chief Executive Officer) and David Lees, the
Board includes Keith Lassman and Dominic Trigg.

Keith has been a Non-Executive Director since 2003 and as a senior partner of
London Law Firm, Howard Kennedy, he brings considerable experience in a broad
range of corporate finance transactions.



Dominic Trigg has a strong background in online and traditional media
advertising.  Previous roles have included President of Search and Directories
for infospace Europe, Director of advertising operations for Yahoo! Europe,
Advertising Director for Microsoft's MSN UK, Hotmail UK and Expedia as well as
ad manager for BT's Internet portfolio.



Over the coming months the Group will seek to strengthen the Board with the
appointment of an experienced Asia Pacific-based Non Executive Director.

All Board changes will come into immediate effect.

Adrian Moss, CEO of DGM, said "I would like to thank the departing members of
the Board for their considerable support and contribution. We now have a Board
that is more appropriate to the size of the Group.  In addition the greater
focus on the Asia Pacific region has led a significant reduction in our
requirement for UK based overheads and has reduced the Group's central cost
base."
