Barbara G. Goode, new Editor-in-Chief of Small Times

Feb. 2, 2007 — Barbara G. Goode, a veteran chief editor, has been announced by PennWell Corporation, Small Times’ parent company, as the new Editor-in-Chief, effective February 5, 2007.

For nearly ten years, Goode served as Editor-in-Chief of the highly respected, highly technical Sensors magazine, overseeing and directing the editorial and design efforts both in print and online. She was instrumental in the development of Sensors’ website, directories, e-newsletters and most recently, the daily blog. Goode also served as editorial director for Sensors China. In past years, she served as conference director for Sensors Expo, the industry’s leading trade event.

Goode will parlay her MEMS and nano expertise into the continued emphasis of Small Times to remain the leading global source for driving superior innovation and successful commercialization of micro and nano technologies through the delivery of critical information and analysis.

“I look forward to helping readers understand the implications of developments in the small-tech space so they will know how to make good business decisions,” said Goode. “There’s no lack of information and hype about small tech. My goal is to help readers synthesize that data and to make it accessible, practical, and useful for day-to-day planning and operations.”

“Small Times readers will benefit significantly from Barbara’s editorial experience, industry relationships and her passion for delivering quality information. Our ability to cover the manufacturing issues and the rapidly growing tools and equipment markets will be greatly enhanced,” said Patti Glaza, Publisher of Small Times magazine.

The Small Times international franchise consists of comprehensive, integrated print and online media, including: interactive Webcasts, technical White Papers, a proven, highly successful E-Newsletter, the Small Times Small Tech Business Directory reference tool of equipment and service providers, and NanoCon International, a leading industry tradeshow.

“PennWell is committed to the nanotechnology market,” said Christine Shaw, Senior Vice President, PennWell. “The value that Small Times brings to this market, along with our growing NanoCon International event, will continue to set the pace within this rapidly growing industry. As commercialization of products and technologies accelerates, we are the media that will feature these companies and their products and technologies.”
