Exciting changes at SD Times

Where’s David Rubinstein? The usual denizen of IndustryWatch has moved on to a new adventure: leading the launch of BZ Media’s newspaper for IT managers, Systems Management News.

Not only that, but Dave has taken Mara Leonardi, Alex Handy and Jeff Feinman with him.

The first issue of Systems Management News, or SMN, will be published April 15. The newspaper, which will look and read very much like SD Times, is written for the IT professionals who manage their organization’s IT systems administration.

The readers of SMN manage their organization’s IT operations’ life cycle. That encompasses everything from data center management to LAN/WAN admin, from storage management to DBAs, from infrastructure to help desk and support. The newspaper will be published twice per month in both print and digital editions, and subscriptions to qualified IT professionals are free—just like with SD Times.

We’re excited for Dave, but we’re certainly going to miss him on SD Times. He joined BZ Media in late 1999, as part of SD Times’ launch team. He served as executive editor and editor, taking the editorial reins as editor-in-chief in late 2005. His mark on SD Times can be seen everywhere.

Mara Leonardi, SD Times’ art director, as well as senior editor Alex Handy and assistant editor Jeff Feinman, are also moving over to SMN. Mara is bringing her considerable design skills to creating SMN’s unique graphical appearance. Joining them on SMN are Michelle Savage, senior editor, and Dan Olawski, managing editor.

The SD Times team is now a mixture of established voices and new writers. I’m returning to an active role as chief editor, working closely with executive editor P.J. Connolly, managing editor Greg Lupion, associate editor David Worthington and associate copy editor Adam LoBelia. Erin Broadhurst, formerly our art/production assistant, is now SD Times’ art director. We’ve been joined by new senior editor Robert Mullins, best known for his work at IDG News Service and IDG’s Network World newspaper.

Very few media companies are starting new publications. BZ Media is bucking the trend with Systems Management News, but given the success of SD Times, we believe that SMN will earn the support of operations managers and the IT industry. (One measure of that success: SD Times was listed as the fastest-growing IT publication of 2007, according to Media Business Magazine.)
