09/12/2003
San Francisco, California, September 12, 2003 - Today, Kevin McKean, CEO and editorial director of the InfoWorld Media Group, announced the magazine's 2004 frequency expansion to 51 times. InfoWorld's sharp focus on the evaluation and selection of key IT technologies, along with the InfoWorld Test Center, have driven high levels of reader interaction as well as advertiser demand to connect with its audience.
"There is a revolution going on in how technologies are purchased and sold," says McKean "With InfoWorld's unique perspective, we're helping today's IT gatekeepers make critical decisions by evaluating new products, services, and technologies better than anyone else. InfoWorld's expansion to 51 times reflects this commitment."
Steve Fox, editor in chief and recently named one of the top 10 technology influencers by Adweek Magazine's Technology Marketing added "Readers won't settle for abbreviated news items and quickie reviews; they demand sophisticated analysis and in-depth evaluations. Over the past year, weÕve expanded our coverage, delivering comprehensive cover packages and expanded reviews, while launching Leaderboard and other editorial programs. In 2004, InfoWorld will roll out a host of innovations as we continue to redefine IT publishing."
