Blue Chip Journal Issue 76

PUBLISHER’S NOTE
New at
Blue Chip
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been felt strongly
in the media industry, as it has across most sections of the
economy, with many long-running magazines and journals
closing down or moving to purely online channels. Global
Africa Network Media has continued to print and distribute the Blue
Chip journal directly to the country’s Certified Financial Planners, and
has now added a variety of online options to allow broader access
to the high-quality content we publish. These include a new website
at www.bluechipdigital.co.za, which also hosts an ebook edition of
the print journal; a presence on LinkedIn; and, launching in July 2020,
the Blue Chip Digital monthly e-newsletter. The e-newsletter is sent to
every member of the FPI, and access to subscribe to the newsletter
can be found on the Blue Chip Digital website. Follow Blue Chip on our
online and social media channels to receive regular news and updates
which will complement the quarterly print journal.
Appropriate for this Women’s Month issue of the journal, Blue Chip
also welcomes a new editor from this edition in Alexis Knipe. With
over 23 years spent working with leading publishers and conference
owners, Alexis has gained extensive knowledge and experience
in all aspects of business-to-business media, with a focus on editorial
and high-level content production. Chris Whales, Publisher
