So The New Age finally launched this morning, Monday, 6 December 2010, and online chatter and media stories have ranged from comments about editor Henry Jeffreys' welcome column (and its emphasis on editorial independence and media freedom) and its typography to who's going to buy a copy and where to buy an actual copy. For those of us online, we can always access the e-edition but somehow it's not the same as paper and ink. Bizcommunity.com wishes the new kid on the block all the best, especially since it's silly season and, contrary to what I wrote last week, news has indeed started slowing down (I think last year was different because it was the build-up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup). By the way, five daily newsletters and one weekly left until year-end after this one goes out! Last newsletters here at Bizcommunity are on Monday, 13 December 2010. Have a laid-back week Simone Puterman (@SimoneBiz) Managing editor
