The International Resource Journal: George Media celebrates first anniversary George Media celebrates first anniversary ================================================================================ admin on 04 September, 2009 07:02:00 MISSISSAUGA, ON, Sept. 4 /CNW/ - George Media Inc., a digital media company producing The Canadian Business Journal and The International Resource Journal, today celebrates its first year in business. Michael Alexander-Jones, founder of the company, opened the doors to George Media in Mississauga on September 4th, 2008. "I'm so pleased that we're able to say we built a successful media business in one of the worst recessions in North American history" Alexander-Jones remarked. "None of this could have been done without the hard work and dedication of the George Media team. It's been an exciting year and I foresee many good things happening with George Media, including the launch of another title this year, more staff to our two offices in London, UK, and in Canada, and the continued development of more value-adds for our advertisers." Both the CBJ and IRJ have become household names for those interested in Canadian business and the international oil and gas and mining industries. George Media has worked on stories and collaborative projects with worldwide organizations and done hundreds of interviews with heads of major corporations in various industries including technology, health care, construction and mining. George Media also recently took the pioneering step to become BPA audited. Both current titles are audited, as will be any the company publishes in the future. George Media is launching its third magazine, The American Business Journal, later this month. "With new publication websites lined up for the coming year, we're anxious to start covering more major events and interviewing many more business leaders and industry experts" Sara Kopamees, Editor in Chief said earlier today. "We'd like to thank our staff and the gracious interviewees, companies, and advertisers who have been a major part in helping George Media grow and succeed." The September issue of The International Resource Journal went live at www.irjonline.com on September 3rd, and this month's issue of The Canadian Business Journal will be released on September 8th.
