The website for PR Business magazine is finally up and running only three months late.
But before you get too excited, it seems that this might just be a Beta version of the site. There is a bit of content but many news categories don't contain any stories yet.
Still it looks good and offers a tantalising glimpse of how the site will look and function when it is finished.
It also looks as if it will have a PRB Forum for online discussions - but no blog!!! It also has a nice job search feature.
So at last the PR Business site is up and running. The magazine has unfairly been given stick since it first came out. It was never going to be spot on first time, but it's improving with each issue. And with the magazine and features finally settling down, the magazine is a worthy competitor to PR Week and is worth a read.

I have long been a champion of PR Business. I would be interested to hear who has been giving it stick - I would hazard a guess they're Londonistas working for a big agency??
I've given the mag stick over its delayed website... but I'll shut up now!

We've had a lot of stick from the very start, and from all angles – some of it's been totally fair; some of it less so. But that's the nature of this business, and not everyone's going to like what we're doing. That's fine by me - what type of mediocre mag would we be working on if it catered to everyone? Heaven forbid! I'd much rather ruffle a few feathers as we go...
I like hearing people's comments – good AND bad. It helps me develop a better magazine. Plus, I'd rather that than no one talk about us.
We've a long way to go, but we're doing our best!
