World Battery News – the real-time global business news service focused on batteries and their role in the wider renewables and energy tech markets – is celebrating its first anniversary next month.
Over the past year, we’ve exceeded our expectations to become the industry leader for top-quality journalism in reporting on the spectrum of the battery value cycle – covering all battery chemistries and innovations where new energy storage technologies support renewable power projects.
Thousands of readers have been following our free-access portal and have signed up for our weekly
e-newsletter, World Battery News Bulletin. We have hundreds of followers across Twitter and Linked In and the industry’s response has been amazing.
Editor-in-Chief John Shepherd, whose career in digital and print journalism spans some 40 years, said the UK-based portal, supported by international correspondents and technical experts, is already acknowledged as the ‘Reuters of the battery industry’ for its global, 24/7 coverage.

'Global reach'
Editor-in-Chief John Shepherd, whose career in digital and print journalism spans some 40 years, said the UK-based portal, supported by international correspondents and technical experts, is already acknowledged as the ‘Reuters of the battery industry’ for its global, 24/7 coverage.
"We launched in the darkest days of the pandemic – a dedicated business news, information and marketing platform, through which companies could promote their products and services at a time when in-person exhibitions, conferences and networking were temporarily halted.”
"As pandemic restrictions begin to ease, I’m delighted that the increasing number of readers and advertisers who welcome our industry coverage and instant, global reach, are staying and ‘growing’ with us as their digital information and marketing partner of choice,” Shepherd said.
Online advertising rise
Commercial Director David Beckett, who joined World Battery News earlier this year with more than 30 years’ experience in the media and publishing industry in Europe and the Middle East, said the move away from legacy media and growing influence of online advertising is acknowledged in latest global analysis by WARC Data, which indicates more than 60% of advertising spend is expected to be on digital media in 2022 – a 50% rise since before the pandemic.
