Soft launch for The New Age website

The New Age newspaper quietly soft-launched its online website on Wednesday, 1 September 2010. Editor Vuyo Mvoko is quoted on the site as saying, "It's just to test our systems and we believe this is going to help us a great deal as we prepare for the launch which is coming soon. It is important that we start putting ourselves on trial now in order to give ourselves that competitive edge." The newspaper points out that what is online is expected to change and is "not indicative of what the final print newspaper will look like". It is also asking readers for feedback.
