About

At Delimiter we’re passionate about just two things: Technology and Australia.

Hence, we exclusively cover the local IT and telecommunications industries, as well as the introduction and usage of consumer technology in Australia and the top gaming stories — leaving international coverage to those overseas.

Our audience is primarily professionals in those industries, as well as the broader secondary community of Australian technology enthusiasts.

Delimiter is owned and published by LeMay & Galt Media (ACN: 142 846 633), a Sydney-based independent publishing company established in January 2010 by well-known Australian journalist and writer Renai LeMay to meet the demand for products and services in Australia’s fast-growing new media environment.

You can read Renai’s article on why he started Delimiter.

The name ‘Delimiter’ is a technology term which you might have heard referred to in the context of databases. Wikipedia states: “A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters used to specify the boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text or other data streams.”

We found the name particularly appropriate in the context of the evolving nature of the online news stream.

Staff

A former systems administrator and IT professional, Renai has held several roles at business technology title ZDNet Australia, including his most recent stint as news editor. In addition, he has worked as one of The Australian Financial Review‘s main technology reporters, in a role that also saw him contribute heavily to MIS Magazine.

The company also recently hired our first staff journalist (apart from Renai), Jenna Pitcher. Jenna works for Delimiter part-time and has entered the world of journalism after an extensive background in digital arts and business management.

A number of other people in Australia’s technology sector also regularly contribute to Delimiter — journalists, bloggers and IT professionals.

Having studied at digital media institutions the Academy of Interactive Entertainment and QANTM College, Pitcher is a digital artist by education and is fluent in programs as Maya, Max and the Adobe Suite.

Pitcher is also contributing to the development of an independent Xbox Live Arcade (XNA) game in her spare time and is an avid video gamer.

Are you a public relations professional representing someone in Australia’s technology, communications or gaming industries? If so, we’ve set up a special Google Groups mailing list just for you, called Delimiter Proactive.

Through it we provide information (maybe once a week at most) about new features or sections on Delimiter that it would be to your advantage to know about, as well as tips on how best to work with us.

The list will be only for announcements from Delimiter — you will not be able to make postings to it yourself. So don’t worry that if you sign up you will be spammed with a million emails. And, of course, you can remove your email address from it any time.
