Nigel Brown – Editor
Nigel has joined Republic as part of our Launch team after editing Sport.co.uk and working at T3. He’ll now be working on our latest creative titles such as Humans Invent.

Martin James – Senior Staff Writer
Martin has actually been beavering away behind the scenes at Republic for some time now, but he recently gave up the lazy freelance life to join us and work on NokNok full time.

Sarah Dowling – Operations Manager
Tea maker in chief, Sarah also has the unenviable position of keeping Republic’s unruly mob of talented employees in check. From HR stuff to helping out wherever needed, Sarah is truly one of Republic’s unsung heroes.

Emma Lancaster – Administrator
Emma helps Sarah to keep Republic running smoothly, and is another much valued part of our team. From expenses to holidays, to fetching the beers at the bar and all the other stuff we didn’t even realise we needed, we couldn’t manage without her!

Lucy Winstanely-Norris – Staff Writer
Having worked for the Guardian, local news, and even the government department for Culture, Media and Sport, Lucy now helps out on Vodafone’s World of Difference website. Check it out – you’ll be able to find info on the latest and most interesting charities.

First local edition of the official Nokia blog

Over the last two years, Republic Publishing has been working with the Nokia Social Media team to develop and run the official Nokia blog. Almost two years to the day since the launch of the global English language edition, we rolled out the Chinese edition in , together with the local team in Nokia China.

In the works for the last three months, the site mirrors the look and feel of the global edition, but is completely localised to make it easier for both readers and the team working on it. Although hosted in China, the site was built and is maintained by Republic Publishing.

To help get the site off the ground, and the local team up and running, JBC spent a week in Beijing working through the key functions of running an official corporate blog.

If you’re fluent in Chinese, then head over to Blog.Nokia.com.cn

This month we launched a series of engaging independent promotional guides and must-see videos highlighting the talents of the new Android-powered Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Created by the Electricpig editors for Electricpig readers, each article and video was keenly tailored to engage their distinct tastes and core tech interests.

We’re offering our readers the chance to explore the X10 in real depth via an entirely fresh selection of standalone guides and enlightening easy-to-digest 60-second videos.

We wanted to illustrate the smartest things you can do with the X10 in a minute, and came up with a list of ten distinct scenarios where Sony Ericsson’s latest smartphone could help you out.

With a mixture of serious and not so serious topics, reader interaction from the blog and a spotlight on the latest apps and games, the official Nokia blog newsletter forms a weekly digest of the most important things to happen around Nokia.

The newsletter is the latest in a long line of additions made to the site since it launched in 2008.
