New Media Guide

I’ve always wanted to be a magazine publisher. I think it stems back to the Judith Krantz mini series “I’ll take Manhattan” from many, many years ago. I watched it as a little girl, and fell in love with the main character’s career, which happened to be “magazine magnate”.

But then, somewhere along the way, I also fell in love with new media, and the immense (and immensely underutilized) potential that it brings to business communication.

And now I have mixed the two passions, and am the (online) publisher of the New Media Journal. This really has been months and months in the making. The idea went through countless drafts, business models and designs. Finally, I settled on the most common model online (free!). And in the true spirit of no free lunch, I hope to make (some) money through premium products, added consulting gigs and (maybe) some advertising. The premium products will follow shortly.

So, if you find the time to read it and if you happen to like it - please pass it on. And please subscribe to the blog, so that you don’t miss future issues (as well as my regular blog posts).

As a last comment, expect this blog to grow. I have re-launched it with the release of the New Media Journal and will make it my hub for all my new media thoughts.
