M&G Online launches Thought Leader

The Mail & Guardian Online has launched www.thoughtleader.co.za, a blog platform edited by M&G Online editor Riaan Wolmarans. According to GM Matthew Buckland, this strongly M&G-branded hybrid blog-media product is the third part of its blog strategy, coming after blog aggregator Amatomu.com and blogging platform Amagama.com, and aims to be a meeting place for M&G journalists, columnists and other up-and-coming writers, commentators, intellectuals and opinion makers across various industries and political spectrums.
