First there was The Register, then came The Inquirer. Now Mike Magee is back with a new experiment in online IT journalism, The IT Examiner.

The first cut of the site is up, and it's looking interesting - especially as it blends western and eastern news in one place, with journalists based in Bangalore doing much of the writing. I suspect the outsourcing section of the site will be worth following. The site only went live yesterday, so there's not much there yet, but as with all online writing the value is in the corpus, and things should grow pretty rapidly now.

Bit of a theme going on with the site names, Mike!

Thanks for the info, I'll have a look & probably bookmark it :) As you know I've been a long term reader of The Register, but didn't know about The Inquirer let alone this new one

I think I saw a demo of this a while ago, anyhow it's a bit 'Oh look, another one...' (-:

The writing style is 'interesting' too. Based on this and on what I've read in the past, Indian English and journalism is as different from British as British is from American, possibly more so.

Thaks for the heads-up. I've pretty much given up on the Reg (except BOFH and Stob), and the Inq seems to be heading downhill towards tabloid territory too.
