901am is blog focusing on new media news and is chocked full of news and commentary, courtesy of some of the Blog Herald’s most talented alumni: Dave Krug, Muhammad Saleem, and Thord Hedengren.
It seems like they’ll be covering a broad range of topics, from blogging, to Web2.0 companies, to advertising in the new media. Furthermore, it looks like 901am will also aim to be more than just another industry blog — but also an educational hub, offering learning on-line and off with respects to blogging and new media publishing.
More details over here, but the upcoming program on an Introduction to New Media involves the following:

For all of you aspiring professional bloggers and new media types, it seems like you’d better head on over to 901am, or perhaps subscribe to their feed, for further details — and take advantage of some of the lessons these gents have learned the hard way.
On a personal note, when the BlogHerald changed hands, we (and me) were sorry to see them go, but we wish them all the best in this venture. Getting a news blog up and going isn’t an easy affair these days, but with the kind of rising stars they have in their stable, they’ll have as good a chance as any at the moment.
NB: Kudos to Chris Pearson on 901am’s new theme, which, as some have noticed, is pretty darn kick ass.
