Reed is planning to launch a new digital magazine, Industrial Automation News. The new publication is a digital magazine that will cover new products, processes, applications and developments for automation engineers, managers, product specifiers and system integrators in manufacturing industries across Europe. It also promises to cover the full spectrum of suppliers: components, sub-systems, and complete automated production installations.
IAN will be published nine times a year. The first issue will be out in February 2012, but work is already well under way on a pilot issue that will be available before the SPS/DRIVES show in November 2011.
The circulation is expected to be a decent 30000 recipients based across Europe, and unsurprisingly Germany will be the country with the most subscribers.
The editor of the new publication, Graham Prophet, will also continue in his role as editor of EDN Europe. We also understand that he will be supported by Caroline Hayes, who will retain her role as editor of EPN.
As a former 13 year sales person for the “original” IAN I find this hard to believe. Why don’t you contact the original editor, Patricia Pool? She was the guru in automation and if you want to succeed she can make it happen.
