Introducing The Esports Advocate
My not-so-secret esports business news site is officially live.
As loyal readers, I feel like you deserve a personal message letting you know that I have been working on a new esports business news site called The Esports Advocate, or “TEA” for short.
I say “not-so-secret” because I have been building social media pages for the site over the last month, adding biographical information about being a “co-founder” and an “editor” here and there, and a lot of people have picked up on it (I’ve also soft pushed a few articles on social media and Reddit).
So now that the cat is out of the bag, I hope you will go check it out, tell your friends, and colleagues, and give us some feedback if you feel like it.
So what is TEA about and what are our goals going forward? I’ve swiped a few words from our official missions statement (which you can find here in full):
“We launched The Esports Advocate (TEA) with the goal of creating the best publication in the world covering the business of esports and video games, and those emerging technologies and sectors that are tangentially-connected to them such as blockchain, NFTs, web3, the metaverse, the creator economy, entertainment, streaming platforms, etc.
“But at the heart of everything we are going to do are some core tenets and principles that will guide us. I consider adhering to these principles as a covenant with our readers, partners, and the sectors we will cover: in short, we will always strive to do all things with integrity, ethics, transparency, accuracy, and quality guiding our every step.”
I have some other reasons for doing this, detailed in this thread:
In closing, I just want say thank you so much for your support over the last year. TEA would have never happened without readers taking an interest in The Fudge Retort and People on the Move. These newsletters will continue to be an integral part of everything I do. ♥ - James.
