...and a Beginning

Yesterday, I rather cryptically mentioned that I wouldn’t be writing about property and architecture on this blog anymore.

To understand why, we need to take a step backwards. During the day, I’m the features editor of Estates Gazette, a weekly magazine covering the commercial property magazine, and one of the biggest business magazines in the country. A couple of weeks ago, the executive editor of New Scientist, a stablemate to EG, turned up for a meeting with my editor. I was called into the meeting. Our publisher, Reed Business Information, was getting into blogging. Would I be interested in helping?

Silly question, really.

So, as of the weekend just gone, Reed’s new site, full of blogs from the editors and senior staff of several business magazines, is live. It’s called Bizbuzzmedia.

The reason that I won’t be covering property and architecture here any more is that I’ll be doing it on company time, for a company blog. The EG Blog is born. Go visit.
