It has been a busy week here at CRN.

To start with the shortlists for our 2009 Channel Awards were announced last week.

As head judge, the job has become harder, as the standard of entry increased. It was no easy decision for our judging panel to make this year, particularly because there were more entries than ever before.

Second you may have noticed that CRN looks different. We have undergone a redesign that reflects the more modern flavour we are trying to project.

The format itself has not changed ­ we are still very much news focused in keeping with our readers’ wishes.

We have designed a new logo that is still instantly recognisable as CRN, but just brings things into the 21st century.

However, the biggest change is the prominence of our web site URL ­ www.channelweb.co.uk ­- this is to encourage even more readers to visit the site which is updated with news, features and comments on a regular basis every day.

Many readers have not associated Channelweb with CRN in the past, so this will help to clear up any confusion.

We hope you like the new-look CRN ­ we are very proud of it and would welcome your feedback.
