An EIC Promotion That Was a Long Time Coming

When John Laposky joined This Week in Consumer Electronics as managing editor, the consumer electronics horizon did not yet include the iPhone and high-definition TV. The year was 1995, and now, roughly 936 weeks later, Laposky has graduated to editor-in-chief.

From today’s announcement:

Laposky takes over the position from Steve Smith, who transitioned to editor-at-large at the end of July.

“John possesses a wide knowledge of the consumer electronics industry,” said Ed Hecht, VP/publisher, TWICE.
