ClashMusic.com, the online spin off from Clash magazine, has followed up its recent announcement of plans to spend half a million developing its digital offer (aided by a £230K grant from the Scottish government) by announcing the recruitment of two new employees, one from DrownedinSound and the other from the MamaGroup.
Former DiS Editor Mike Diver will become Clash's Online Editor, while former The Fly mag Editor and MamaGroup media man Will Kinsman will put together a team of contributing editors across the UK for Clash and work on special projects.
Clash Editor Simon Harper told CMU: "The addition of Will and Mike into the Clash team comes at a vital juncture in the development of ClashMusic.com and our flagship, Clash Magazine. Both bring with them impeccable reputations, a wealth of experience, and contrasting tastes that will combine to push the Clash components to become the foremost source for astute music coverage. We welcome their expertise and look forward to them joining our burgeoning family".
