This press release hit the wires today. The Edinburgh Fringe Show from The Podcast NEtwork is part of the new Festival media Network. I’ll let the release give you all the details:

25th August 2006 - Edinburgh. The leading online media publications have reached an agreement to collaborate their energies at future Edinburgh Festival Fringes. Under the banner of the “Festival Media Network,” Broadway Baby, The Podcast Network, Whispered Prompt, FestivalPreviews.com and other interested parties will present a single voice to organisations and promote the use of new online technologies to cover the Fringe in Scotland, the United Kingdom and the world.

“It’s great that we can all work together, and send out a positive message that online media does work and can achieve a common goal, whilst retaining an individual identity,” said Pete Shaw, Publisher of Broadway Baby.

“Our goal includes growing the Festival’s audience to the global village,” says Ewan Spence, Executive Director at The Podcast Network. “You don’t need to be in Edinburgh to enjoy the Fringe.”

Ian Smith from FestivalPreviews.com commented that “millions of people already use the web to discover the Fringe. We are delighted to be a part of this organisation which will boost the experience of visitors.”

Over the coming months the various organisations will be refining their plans and liasing with promoters, venues, theatre companies and the Festival Fringe Society to ensure that the Fringe in 2007 will be as revolutionary online as the Edinburgh Festival became 60 years ago.
