An Editorial Team Readers Trust
|
|
What sets Mining Media International apart from other B2B publishers in this space is its vast editorial footprint. The MMI editorial team consists of a global group of editors, many of whom are considered "the authority" in their respective fields. More than simply reporting the news, this group of professionals offers the insight and analysis that readers expect from the individual titles. These titles have more than editorial excellence in common. Each shares a commitment to safety, the environment and sustainability. With each edition, the editors provide news and market analysis, information on equipment and technology, and tips for improving operational efficiency.
MMI is a full service B2B media outlet. While print publishing is an important aspect of the business, it is one of many means by which it delivers content to readers. The company also connects with readers through websites, targeted eNewsletters and social networking. The editorial team also serves as a valuable resource in organizing the company's conferences and gathering data for its directories.
On the mining side, Engineering & Mining Journal (E&MJ) remains the leading international trade journal geared toward mining and mineral processing. Coal Age will celebrate 100 years of dedication to coal mining and processing in 2012. The ASIA Miner provides an assessment of exploration and mining activities in the Asian Pacific region with a bi-lingual (Mandarin) component, while Equipo Minero reaches mining and processing professionals throughout Latin America in Spanish.
For the construction industry, Rock Products reports on quarries and sand and gravel operations. Concrete Products serves ready mixed and manufactured-concrete producers. Cement Americas remains the cement industry journal for the Western Hemisphere. C&D World reaches professionals in the demolition and construction and debris recycling industries. From the deepest platinum mines to the tallest concrete skyscrapers, Media Mining International's editorial team has it covered.
