Without wishing to offend half the world's population (but no doubt managing it anyway), launching Media Week's website has felt, I imagine, a little like giving birth.
It's been 9 months in the making, caused numerous late and uncomfortable nights, we've had false alarms for the final push and I even appear to have clapped it on (although that may be unrelated).
But it's finally here, thanks to the hard work of many people at Haymarket, too numerous to mention by name. And we're very pleased with it.
Our aim was not to reinvent the wheel, just to try to make sure the breaking news, indepth features, industry comment and expert analysis - generated by the Media Week team and the media industry itself - are easily accessible by our readers.
We've added a few shiny buttons - video, audio, galleries to name a few - and we'll be building on these over the coming months to deliver enhanced coverage of the big media stories.
There are bound to be a few teething problems, but hopefully nothing that will prevent us breaking the essential news readers of Media Week (whether of the magazine, online or through our daily bulletins) expect.
Please leave comments if you spot any issues or just want to make suggestions. I look forward to your feedback...I think.
