Creamer Media

Creamer Media was launched by journalist Martin Creamer on Friday 13 of March 1981. Creamer Media’s first title was a fortnightly newspaper called Engineering News. It soon became a very successful weekly newspaper increasingly well-respected by industrial and mining decision-makers as a crucial source of business news and information.

In the 1990s, Mining Weekly was launched as an additional publication distributed each week with Engineering News. With the advent of the internet and digital media, the daily news sites EngineeringNews. co.za, MiningWeekly.com, ResearchChannel.com and Polity.org.za were all launched in the early 2000s – at the same time the weekly newspapers Engineering News and Mining Weekly were redesigned into a news magazine format.

Throughout the first twenty years of the twenty-first century Creamer Media has continued to shape and re-shape its print and online publications – launching iOS and Android Apps, wearables, video shows and podcasts, as well as print, email and digital supplements with the overall vision of giving its readers “news you can use” while adapting to rapidly changing reader habits and publishing possibilities.

As Creamer Media reaches its 40th anniversary milestone – Martin Creamer, editor of Mining Weekly, and Terence Creamer, editor of Engineering News– remain confident that as the publishing frontier continues to expand Creamer Media will continue to advance its core mission of providing its information-hungry readers with a constant flow of current, credible and comprehensive news.
