Former ZDNet news editor Renai LeMay has today announced the launch of his own independent publishing house and it's first property, technology website
Delimiter.
The
site will feature news, opinions, feature articles, profiles and
multimedia content, focusing exclusively on the Australian technology
sector, leaving international reporting to 'the experts' overseas.
"I wanted to found a site that would cover (the Australian technology) sector in minute
detail. A site that would tell the stories of Australians, for an
Australian audience." said LeMay in a post detailing the reasons behind the launch.
Run as a one man band, Delimiter will not rely on advertising in the
foreseeable future. Instead offering unlimited licencing deals to
publishers competing with wire services such as Former ZDNet news editor Renai LeMay has today announced the launch of his own independent publishing house .
A Delimiter subscription deal would allow publishers to use any or all of Delimiter's content for a $750 flat fee per month.
Renai told
Digital Media that he was not too concerned that the republishing of his content across the internet would affect his SEO ranking, preferring instead to build a community as he sees publishers moving away from reliance on search engine traffic.
He would also not be drawn on whether any publishers had already signed up for the licensing deal.
