Strang replaces Jon Lane, who is leaving the company. Strang was previously Group Publisher of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Expert Gamer, and the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine. In addition, Strang served as publisher of the group's fourth title, Computer Gaming World. All four titles now report to him. Mike Perlis, President of ZD Publishing, said, "The Game division has grown from nearly a start-up to a major business segment within ZD. Our publications are leaders in this extremely dynamic, rapidly evolving sector. With Dale at the helm and an expert gaming team in place, we are perfectly positioned to take the group to the next level of growth and success." ChannelWEB Introduces Online Events Center CMP Media's ChannelWEB, a reseller website, has introduced the Events Center, a new site that tracks conferences and events aimed at the information-technology audience, with a special emphasis in the value channel. The ChannelWEB Events Center features a database-driven search engine identifying events worldwide in six broad categories: Internet/online, communications, software and services, vertical markets, computing platforms and computing industry. Searches also can be conducted among subcategories and by location or date. "The Internet has made it easier for industry professionals to find information, but it has not replaced face-to-face contact," said Seth Nichols, managing director of ChannelWEB. "Our Events Center is designed to help resellers and retailers identify the multitude of in-person, high-tech opportunities and learn about those that will provide them with the greatest benefits." Business Week Launches Quarterly On Electronic Business Business Week Magazine has launched Business Week e.biz, a quarterly report on electronic business, in its March 22 issue. For the debut issue, the Business Week team interviewed experts on the front lines of E-business. Business Week has also launched a new website, ebiz.businessweek.com, which is updated daily, with extra stories, columnists, data, and insights. "Electronic business is uncharted territory, so expect trip-ups as well as triumphs," says Kathy Rebello, managing editor of Business Week e.biz and the magazine's senior editor in charge of information technology coverage. "Business Week e.biz quarterly will deal with the big issues and trends -- how to profit, how to avoid the pitfalls, and who the people are behind it. We'll always keep the broad perspective, but future issues will drill down into how specific parts of companies can remake themselves." As the first non-techie magazine to do a cover story on the Internet (1994), Business Week has had an early start in covering the phenomenon, and continued to publish stories regularly on how the technology behind the Internet was linking companies and bringing them closer to their customers. The coverage grew into a series of special reports on electronic commerce. Two special reports in 1998 were capped with an additional 30-page package, "Doing Business in the Internet Age."
