Global News Enterprises release

POLITICO'S DEPUTY MANAGING EDITOR BARBARA E. MARTINEZ TO BE MANAGING EDITOR AT GLOBAL NEWS ENTERPRISES


Boston, September 9, 2008 – Barbara E. Martinez will be leaving her post as Deputy Managing Editor of the popular and influential Web site Politico to become a Managing Editor at Global News Enterprises (www.globalnewsenterprises.com), the first Web-based news organization to provide daily international news coverage by its own correspondents all over the world.

"We are thrilled to announce that Barbara will be our Managing Editor for the Web. She has contributed a great deal to the success of Politico and we look forward to her bringing her strong editing skills and high energy to Global News," said Charles M. Sennott, Executive Editor and Vice President of Global News Enterprises.

Global News Enterprises President and CEO Philip S. Balboni said: "Barbara brings to Global News not only a passionate commitment to excellence in news but also and very importantly to our own pioneering mission the kind of smart, entrepreneurial journalism that we believe will define lasting success in the digital age."

Martinez will be responsible for Global News Enterprises' Web site, which is scheduled to launch in January 2009. She will oversee editorial and technical aspects of the site and manage three Deputy Editors.

"At Politico I became addicted to startups and the success they can have in the new media environment," said Martinez. "I am excited to be part of this promising global news experiment as my next challenge."

Prior to Politico, Martinez was a staff writer for the Washington Post and is a graduate of Harvard University, where she was Executive Editor of the Harvard Crimson.

"She comes aboard at an exciting and pivotal time for us as we prepare for the launch of the site and finish building a stellar team of correspondents from all over the world," added Sennott.
