Joburg Times online, print copies soon
At a recent launch of the Joburg Times, media, city officials, advertising and marketing professionals previewed the new publication that went live online at the beginning of the month. The print run will begin at a later date.
Among the speakers was the Joburg Times PR manager, Mickey Ntaisi, who said, "We're delighted to introduce the newspaper to the rest of the city. While other publications celebrate their 100 years of publishing, we celebrate the freshness of a newspaper that all Johannesburg residents can relate to."
The publication is targeted to all middle class, ambitious and inspired individuals, although it may be perfect read for society influencers and anyone craving for self-development.
Ntaisi recited its goals, "To share the vision of all those players both in the private and public sectors who are working towards making Joburg a world class African city. To create an environment and platform where companies of various sizes and stages can build deeper relationships with readers. To keep Joburg residents informed, entertained and educated with the most compelling issues, stories and features in the city."
