Premier Title Serving the Creators of Technology Worldwide Unveils
Online, Print and Digital Properties to Offer Global Perspective
and Localized Content SAN FRANCISCO, April 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- CMP Media's Electronics Group today announced the launch of EE
Times Europe to provide Europe's creators of technology with
unparalleled global and local electronics industry news, analysis,
product and design information. The integrated media edition will
consist of a pan-European Web site, to launch May 2006, covering
seven regional European markets in English and local language; and
an English-only print and digital edition, to launch September
2006, providing both global and local news and analysis. EE Times
Europe's initial circulation of 55,000 makes it the largest
electronics industry news publication in Europe. "In addition to
offering EE Times' unparalleled global electronics industry
perspective, we've put together a European editorial team of seven
experienced editors based in key geographic regions to provide
locally-focused content in English and the local language,"
commented Richard Wallace, editorial director of CMP Media's
Electronics Group. "With the new integrated EE Times Europe, we'll
meet our European readers' and customers' changing communication
needs with wide-reaching editorial coverage in the pan-European
English print publication, and complement it with local-language
online editions." EE Times Europe Online will go live May 2006. The
new Web site is designed to deliver both global and local
information with extensive editorial additions and expanded
advertising real estate. The site will feature global EE Times
coverage in English, regional news and analysis in a mix of local
language and English, a New Products section, and 13 new "Index"
pages covering a range of important topics, such as automotive,
consumer electronics and wireless. Existing, news-only local
language editions covering Germany, France, the UK and Scandinavia
will be consolidated into the new site, and new local language
editions for Israel, Eastern Europe and Russia will be added. The
bi-monthly EE Times Europe print and digital editions will launch
September 2006. Editorial content will include coverage and
analysis from the US version of EE Times, locally generated
European staff copy, and material translated from the China and
Japan editions of EE Times. The existing Electronics Express
monthly tabloid will become the product section and will be
integrated online as the New Products section. Sales and editorial
operations will be based in Brussels. EE Times is the world's most
widely read and respected source of news and information for the
global electronics industry. Through regional editions EE Times
reach now extends to over 300,000 readers in print and serves an
online audience of over 1,000,000 readers worldwide across North
America, Europe, China, Korea, Taiwan, Asia and Japan. "We've
received extremely positive and encouraging customer feedback about
the integrated print and online media strategy for Europe. This
strategy has also been confirmed through the findings of a recent
CMP Media study of 4,000 engineers' media usage habits," said Paul
Miller, senior vice president and group director of CMP Media's
Electronics and Software Development Groups. Led by 30-year
industry veteran Richard Wallace, the EE Times Europe editorial
team features seven experienced editors located in key geographical
regions with technical expertise in important application areas.
They include Christoph Hammerschmidt in Germany; Peter Clarke,
Colin Holland and John Walko in the UK; Henri Arnold and
Jean-Pierre Joosting in Belgium; and Anne- Francoise Pele in
