At Monaco Media Forum this weekend, I briefly interviewed Simon Waldman, the digital strategy head for the Guardian Media Group. Previous to this Waldman was heading Guardian Unlimited, the online newspaper website, but for the last year or so, he was moved up to head startegy for the full group, including looking after digital for the other local newspapers, radio and B2B divisions within GMG.
Some of the issues he touched upon: the gradual rollout of the big redesign for Guardian Unlimited–“Every release we have done, we have had no technical problems at all…that was the whole point of the slow and gradual rollout of the redesign; the rollout of video stories on the site and how the site/company is gearing up for it; the development of strong online vertcals in media, education and other areas; revenues for the newspaper website; and build up startegy for Guardian America.
