Technology Review
Technology Review magazine is
published by Technology Review, Incorporated, a significant media
company owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT).
It was STARTED in 1899, but was actually re-launched
on April 23, 1998 under then publisher R. Bruce Journey. In 2005
it went through another change under the current
editor in chief and publisher, Jason Pontin, to something again
resembling the historical magazine.
Under Mr Journey, "MIT's Magazine of Innovation," placed an
emphasis on new technology, tech products and
how they get commercialised.
This exciting publication was mass-marketed to the general
public and was also targeted at senior executives, researchers,
financiers, and policymakers, as well as for the MIT alumni.
