Top Technology Writers Join Editorial Staff of NewMedia Magazine

Posted on August 10, 1998

Becky Waring, editor of NewMedia® magazine, announced the appointment of five of the biggest names in technology writing as contributing editors to the magazine. This appointment coincides with a major editorial redesign that premiered with NewMedia's July issue and targets the Digital Elite -- the most senior managers and professionals responsible for driving digital content strategies within business today.

The five new editors and their respective columns include:

Chuck Martin writes "The Strategist," a look at e-business and the digital economy from the perspective of the e-business strategist. Martin is a former IBM vice president and board member of several Internet companies. He is the author of The Digital Estate, a New York Times Business Bestseller, and has a new book, Net Future, coming out this fall.

Nat Goldhaber, CEO of CyberGold, writes "The Futurist," a look at how technology (particularly the Internet) affects society, and the important business shifts that will result. He was one of the founders of Maharishi International University and a founder of Centram Systems -- developer of one of the first local area network systems.

Digital guru Nathan Shedroff pens "The Architect," covering the future of information architecture and digital-media production. Currently chief creative officer at vivid studios, Shedroff has been a pioneering designer for both CD-ROM and the Web for over ten years, and brings an intimate understanding of the digital design process to NewMedia.

Former MacUser Help Folder and back-page humor columnist, Andy Ihnatko returns to action with "FAQs," a technical Q&A column with a jocular twist. He is also the author of two books, most recently Cyber-Speak, an off-center dictionary of Internet slang and terminology.

Mark Glaser writes "The Back Burner," an endpaper of parody and industry gossip. Glaser, a self-described freelance writer, critic, and troublemaker, has a unique ability to spot digital-media trends and the often misguided assumptions underlying them.
