Media Information
Introduction The Register is headquartered in London, with offices in New York, San Francisco, Sydney and Hong Kong and our team of award-winning writers delivers 24x7 coverage - giving readers the information they need to know to do their jobs. When we are not informing and challenging our readers, The Register is entertaining them with award winning projects most recently claiming a Guinness World Record for the highest paper plane flight in space. The Register is a pioneer of online publishing, springing into life as a pure-play digital publication in 1994. From the beginning we have delivered fiercely independent and insightful technology news, features, analysis, reviews and opinion. We began publishing daily on the web in 1998, and in the first month, averaged just 300 readers a day. Since then readership has grown exponentially, and today the site is the trusted destination for 9.5 million IT professionals. Known for our fearless approach to journalism, The Register is a must-read site for IT professionals, who form one of the most vocal and influential communities in the tech world.
