www.itbrief.co.nz: A new website is born
PRESS RELEASE
A new website is born.
Background
* In
November of 2007 Action Media took over the publications of
Freeman Media. This included a successful IT executive
focused website called www.m-net.net.nz.
* Following on
from this the company acquired a magazine called IT Brief in
February 2008, from the Auckland based ICT consultant Mike
McLaughlan.
Announcements
* The decision was
quickly made to merge the two and adopt the IT Brief name in
both print and online.
* Today the new IT Brief website
has gone live, and early next month the first re-launched
issue of IT Brief will be printed.
* Both the website
and the magazine are targeted at business and IT executives
within corporate, government and enterprise businesses
throughout New Zealand.
* Ken Lewis, editor of m-net,
will remain at the helm of the new website and magazine.
* Designed from the ground up, the site will provide a
fresh and constantly updated resource. It includes content
from the magazine, plus a daily batch of news and
interviews.
Quotes
* "With this acquisition, both
readers and advertisers will have a very clear alternative
to Computerworld and CIO. With no reprints of articles from
American or other international publications, this is
content written by New Zealanders for New Zealanders,”
says Sean Mitchell, Owner & Publisher of Action Media.
*
“This exciting project is the first of our redesigned
websites; we are now actively working on redesigning
websites for The Line, The Channel, Game Console and
Telecommunications Review, plus another five websites that,
as yet, are unannounced,” says Michelle Hughes, New Media
Business Manager of Action Media.
