Its our Birthday and a time for presents and reflections.
First the present:
We are proud to announce that we will be moving. yup. moving! we will still be available on globaledgemedia.yolasite.com but will now be using our very own co.za address
So for all your GEM news, the place to visit is www.globaledgemedia.co.za
It's been a long time coming and with the recent growth in readership, it's come at a great time for the team. A lot of work went into the new layout and porting of articles across the two sites and I'm glad to see the finished product looking so great.
And the highlights:
Looking back at the site over the past year has allowed us me to really understand how far we've come. The site was suppose to be just a blog for the Journalism class to read and contribute to but as our minds grew around the idea so did the site. It's interesting to think that from that small meeting between Chris and myself a great idea and website would grow.
I have to thank, from the bottom of my heart, a few people. First of all Chris who didn't let up on the idea and helped it grow wings. Stefan and Elna who encouraged us and gave us all the feedback and support to build our confidence in the idea. Zodwa and Amy, although neither of them are here to celebrate the one year celebrations, their personality and hard work are ingrained in the identity of the site. From brainstorming name ideas to colour schemes i can honestly say this site would not be anything close to what it is without them.
Best moment has to be Chris's comment on his own article. He wrote a piece on Americas next top model where he exposed corruption in its decision to crown Sasha as America's next top model. He then ,2 days later, went on to the comments section and wrote "OMG! I LOVE IT. Saleisha you cheater!" we all had a good laugh!
Well there's many more memories attached to this great site but this will have to do for now. Thank you all for the support you have given me and the team and here's to many more successes in the future.
