Feb 25, 200

Bradley Cook, former Editor-in-Chief of The St. Petersburg Times in St. Petersburg, Russia, has joined the editorial team of NewsMax.com as editor of NewsMaxUK.com.

NewsMaxUK.com is NewsMax.com's newly launched news portal for Great Britain. William Rees-Mogg, former editor of the Times of London, serves on NewsMax.com's International Advisory Board.

Mr. Cook is seasoned journalist who edited the The St. Petersburg Times, the #2 English language paper in Russia. The St. Petersburg Times was one of the first ten newspapers in the world to go online. The St. Petersburg Times is the sister paper to The Moscow Times. Mr. Cook also wrote a regular column for The St. Petersburg Times.

"Bradley Cook has distinguished himself as an editor and a writer. We are glad he has joined NewsMax.com and the new news business," explained Christopher Ruddy, editor of NewsMax.com.

"Running a newspaper in Russia is one of the most challenging tasks a journalist can have. Bradley Cook brings a unique and valuable perspective that will help open the British and European news market to readers around the world," Ruddy added.

NewsMax.com, just over a year old, is a major player in the rising Internet news business. The Web site strives to provide balanced news coverage with fresh, alternative perspectives.

"NewsMax.com has successfully defied conventional journalism," said Cook. "I'm proud to join such a distinguished team and look forward to braving new waters."

Prudential Securities stated that NewsMax.com is "one of the Web's truly great new sites." Talkers magazine, the trade publication for the talk-show industry, recently noted that NewsMax.com has become the "staple for radio and TV hosts around the country."

In November 1999, NewsMax.com expanded into the financial news arena with the launch of a new affiliated Web site, MoneyNews.com.
