Blogcritics Magazine Relaunches with New Ownership and a Fresh Look
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 03, 2014 -- Blogcritics.org, one of the world's longest-running and most respected online publications, has been acquired by Critical Lens Media, Ltd. from former owner Technorati Media. Critical Lens, owned by Blogcritics' executive editors Barbara Barnett and Jon Sobel, will continue, and broaden, the site's coverage of the arts, pop culture and current events. The magazine will maintain its relationships with its editorial staff and its large cadre of contributors while also recruiting fresh talent.
"We're very pleased that we're going to be able to steer Blogcritics in a more focused direction and keep it growing in the new age of mobile," Sobel says. "It's an excellent opportunity for us, now as editor-publishers, to build on Blogcritics’ 12-year foundation by marketing creatively, further integrating social media, and more, so the publication can reach its full potential."
“I am looking forward to taking Blogcritics to the next level, deepening our coverage of music, television, books, movies, theater and current affairs,” says Barnett. “With a solid editorial vision that focuses on quality original content -- reviews, interviews, in-depth feature stories, and opinion pieces – Jon and I hope to build Blogcritics into the place to come for reading about and discussing all things entertainment, culture, and society.”
Blogcritics is currently seeking excellent writers who want a platform for their passion: a favorite television series, a book, music or film genre. The editors are especially interested in writers who are interested in crafting in-depth articles, interviews and insightful essays on film, music, television, theater, politics and current events, and the cultural and pop-culture landscape. Writing for Blogcritics reaches millions of readers every month, giving great writers a chance to explore new paths and grow an audience for their work.
