ES Launches New Site

The Evening Standard has launched a new website which it hopes will become the focus of campaigns and users’ views.

Editor Veronica Wadley said Standard.co.uk will be concentrated around reader participation in online polls, debates and campaigns such as its current Seat For Every Commuter initiative.

“We will be able to raise the profile of our campaigns further through our new web pages and allow readers to join debates and give their views instantly on the internet,” said Wadley.

Other new features include a podcast on the City’s financial markets and a Reader Rewards section.
