This year, Technology Review celebrates its 105th anniversary. And this year, also, we hire a new editor in chief.

For more than a century, the magazine has been led by gifted editors. For much of our history, the magazine was content to serve a small but influential audience of MIT graduates and leaders in business, research, government, and academia. It is only in recent years that Technology Review and its related businesses have begun to reach a larger audience of almost two million print and Web readers every month.

The strategy that initiated this growth was hatched in 1998, with an editorial blueprint developed and executed by John Benditt. John's editorial vision shaped much of what Technology Review is today -- a magazine of innovation that focuses on the impact of emerging technologies. He pursued that vision in award-winning fashion and with great success. For the past two years, Bob Buderi has done the same, expanding our coverage to include a global marketplace and reach a global readership. Bob stepped down as editor in chief in June, in order to focus more on his writing, but he will continue to work at Technology Review as editor at large.
