FOR IMMEDIATE WARP DRIVE…
RODDENBERRY ENTERTAINMENT PARTNERS WITH NEXUS MEDIA GROUP TO LAUNCH DEFINITIVE “STAR TREK” NEWS SOURCE, “1701NEWS”
Studio City, CA (April 25, 2013) – Seeking to provide fans with a one-stop destination for credible news and high-quality insights regarding all things Star Trek, Roddenberry Entertainment has partnered with Nexus Media Group to officially launch 1701News.com on April 25.
Inspired by the registry number of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), 1701News will cover Star Trek like it’s never been done before, not just with breaking news and social space – the final digital frontier – but with regular columns from fan favorites, videos and pictures, one-of-a-kind interviews, and even a reader-interactive news section that will bring Star Trek conventions to life for the entire world. In addition, Roddenberry Entertainment will collaborate with Nexus Media Group to provide access to proprietary archives, interviews and other Trek scintilla.
In addition to the 1701News website (www.1701News.com), fans can soon follow 1701News via Twitter (@1701News) and Facebook (1701News).
“Roddenberry Entertainment has long been committed to the fan experience. With 1701News we want to create a dedicated site that can have its own identity and purpose, providing the ultimate insider news and information resource for Star Trek fans,” said Trevor Roth, chief operating officer and head of development for Roddenberry Entertainment. “We’ve known Michael Hinman for a long time – he’s been a respected fixture in the sci-fi community with SyFy Portal, Airlock Alpha and other news sites – and we know that 1701News will succeed with Nexus Media Group as our partner.”
“For far too long there’s been an unfilled need when it comes to Star Trek news, and the fans deserve better,” stated Michael Hinman, president of Nexus Media Group. “I’ve had an integrity-based Star Trek news site in mind for quite some time, but we never wanted to launch something without the right partner. Star Trek exists because of Gene Roddenberry – the Great Bird of the Galaxy – and it’s the greatest honor for all of us at Nexus Media to be a part of the Roddenberry/Star Trek legacy. We will make Star Trek fans proud.”
