The International Blogging and New Media Association (IBNMA) has relaunched under the leadership of new president Paul Chaney.

“The IBNMA strives to serve the interests of the blogging and new media communities as a global non-profit association. The Association’s mission is four-fold: to provide research, information, education and advocacy to bloggers, podcasters, social media consultants and others engaged in the industry in any way,” the IBNMA says in its mission statement.

Chaney, a business blogger and co-founder of blog software company Blogging Systems, will head up the board of the organisation, which was founded in November last year.
