As new media was emerging years ago, I had a thoughtful newspaper editor who addressed the subject with a room full of youthful reporters.

“News is news,” he said. “Who cares how you deliver it—whether it’s in print or online. As long as you deliver it, that’s what is important.”

As we launch the new Powerboat Web site today, I’ve kept that philosophy in mind. The site, as you can see, is an ode to the magazine’s 42-year history but it also will showcase the future of the sport through news items, videos, photos and blogs.

A typical day for the editors not only involves working on the magazine, it requires filing a item or two for the Web site, writing a blog and posting updates on Twitter and Facebook. Whether it’s in print or online, each medium will offer something a little different. How we deliver the news or content is far different from my days in the newspaper business.

In the coming months we plan to add more features to the Powerboat Web site, which will only enhance what you get in the magazine. Let me know what you think—good or bad—or offer suggestions on what types of stories you’d like to see. Reader feedback will only help us make the site better.

Enjoy the new Web site and thanks for reading.
