Outnumbered, outgunned but very proud…

DemolitionNews is up against the industry big guns in industry awards.

3972We are delighted to reveal that DemolitionNews.com has been nominated for a coveted industry award.

The Be2Awards 2011 best ‘old media/new media’ category has been created as a reflection of the changing nature of the publishing world. Traditional print titles have had to adapt their activities to cater for the explosion in internet use, and this award will go to the publisher or publication that has best adapted to the opportunities delivered by social media.

We are up against some seriously stiff competition including Construction News and our friends over at ConstructionEnquirer and we know we’re outgunned. Construction News, for example, is a multi-million pound operation employing dozens of editorial and advertising personnel to produce content for a readership that runs into tens of thousands. DemolitionNews.com, meanwhile, is effectively run by one person and has a considerably smaller, highly specialised readership.

“We know we’re hopelessly outgunned. We serve an industry that comprises just a few thousand individuals while Construction News and ConstructionEnquirer have tens and even hundreds of thousands of loyal followers,” says DemolitionNews.com founder and editor Mark Anthony. “To even be nominated in the same category as media organisations of that size and stature is a huge honour.”
