Billboard appoint new editor
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 22 January 2010
The recently sold Billboard have announced they have a new editor. Craig Marks is being brought in to oversee the development of both the print magazine and the US trade mag’s online operation, which its new owners see as having much potential for growth as sales of print-based B2B titles continue to decline.
Marks was founding editor of Blender magazine, which he continued to oversee until 2008, and has also had editorial roles at various other US music titles, including Spin, CMJ and Rolling Stone. He has more recently worked as Editor-In-Chief of music for CNET. His appointment follows the acquisition of the US record industry weekly by media start up E5 Global Media last month.
