Crikey has been going through bit of a flat spot in recent times. Just seems like it’s receiving less love and attention from it’s employees. A certain lack of focus and direction and freshness.
Perhaps time for a new editor.

Amanda Gome as CEO of Crikey. Must admit a perverse fascination to see what this former romance novel writer will do to an erstwhile serious media outlet such as Crikey. A friend at BRW reckons Smartcompany editor thought it such a joke he got a sample Mills & Boon novel off eBay. Wrote under name Amanda Carpenter. Real serious credentials to bring to Crikey! I don’t think……Hope not to see a romance blog in future…. Quite a joke, given these romance titles as “credentials”: A Deeper Dimension, 1983; Flashback, 1983; The Great Escape, ‘84; The Wall, ‘84; Rage, ‘84; A Damaged Trust, ‘84; Waking Up, ‘86; Reckless, ‘86; Caprice, ‘86; The Gift of Happiness, ‘86; Rose-Coloured Love, ‘86; Passage of the Night, ‘90; Cry Wolf, ‘92; A Solitary Heart, ‘93; The Winter King, ‘94; Perfect Chance, ‘96.

Felt like a sales pitch – just not sure if it was a pitch to an investor or to media agencies.

Recently Crikey held discussions with iTWire re the potential of an acquisition. Did they have knowledge of the Technology Spectator and are they looking to compete in the Enterprise Technology market.
