Shiny Media, based in London and started in 2003, is the UK’s biggest blog publisher, with over 20 blogs in various niches. The best known blog is perhaps Shiny Shiny, the girl’s gadget blog that has gotten quite some press coverage since its launch.
The company was founded by Ashley Norris, Chris Price and Katie Lee, all freelance technology journalists at the time. The first blog they launched was Tech Digest, a gadget blog aimed at the UK and Europe rather than the States, in 2003. Shiny Shiny was launched in 2004, and from there on the company has launched blogs on gaming, sports, music and more.
Besides publishing consumer related blogs, Shiny Media is also helping other companies get started with blogging.
