I gree with Msasani...considering local content will be the next big thing after the cost of internet becomes cheaper...am sure your site will attract huge traffic...or you can use both online and publication...

Thats a good plan you have Jammo.

Just a note: Most of the stuff you (and other good contributors) post here is sort of like 'hot news' which are usually romours known by afew in the market,and I must say its helpful here as we get to know stuff before they hit the market (read print media). Would your newspaper / magazine contain such content,coz am thinking of some quarters coming up with legal actions,you know,in the name of suing for insider trading/knowledge stuff.

I also agree with msasani. Starting online will be a great idea and has several advantages
1)Build a loyal following that can later help to propel the print once you are ready to launch.
2) See whether your content appeals to local market.
3) When you start online feedback is much faster and better and you reader might actually be more in the know and there feedback will be useful when you go to the masses.
4) Can make a few cents using google adsense which can be useful when you start up!

Great idea. I hope it comes to fruition.
PS: your knowledge in stocks etc etc might be great but i don't find reading you post that easy. You will therefore need and editor to make your writing better!! Your idea is not a one man show even if it is online!

Interesting insight from Muhika.
A monthly issue would be more prudent in the beginning.Once the client base is hooked,increase frequency to bi-monthly then weekly.I doubt there is enough quality business content to support a daily publication without repetition.

Happy hunting

Jammo,

Assuming the product is good,you could make quite a killing with a Diaspora plan. This could be a part of your online distribution strategy - the capital costs are fairly low. I know the DN experience selling newspapers online has been disappointing. But like others have said,think smart not big. Talk to me when you are ready.

@mchuuzi - it wasn't me!!!!

My name is not Waweru.

I have never written anything for the Standard
