Inside Magazine Names Senior Editorial Team

Posted on September 13, 2000

Inside has announced the appointments of a senior editorial team for Inside: the Business of Entertainment, Media, & Technology, a publication which aims to cover the technological transformation of the entertainment and information industries. The magazine, a partnership between Inside's parent company, Powerful Media, Inc., and Standard Media International, publisher of the Internet business publication, The Industry Standard, will launch late this year. The publication will have competition from eV, a new entertainment technology print magazine being launched by Variety.

The magazine's editor will be Richard Siklos, who is currently Inside.com's Business Editor. Siklos came to Inside.com from Business Week, where he held the position of Media Editor. Prior to Business Week, Siklos spent several years as the New York bureau chief for Canada's Financial Post newspaper. He is also the author of Shades of Black: Conrad Black and the World's Fastest Growing Press Empire, first published in 1995.

Joe Dizney has been named Design Director for Inside magazine and will also oversee design company-wide. Dizney was most recently design director at The Wall Street Journal where he oversaw the design of all the newspaper's properties. Dizney designed the prototype for the Weekend Journal section and was the original design director of SmartMoney. Dizney has also art-directed at Fortune, American Lawyer, and The Village Voice.

Sarah Bartlett has joined Inside magazine as consulting editor. Bartlett was most recently editor-in-chief of Oxygen Media. She was previously assistant managing editor of Business Week and a reporter at The New York Times and Fortune.

Roger Parloff has been named Legal Editor for Inside. Parloff was most recently senior writer for American Lawyer magazine and has contributed to The New York Times, Fortune, Brill's Content, New York, and The Wall Street Journal. Parloff has previously written for Inside as a contributing editor.

``The quality of this team is quite remarkable,'' said Inside co-founder and editor-in-chief Michael Hirschorn. ``It guarantees that Inside magazine will be a product of great credibility, depth, intelligence and style.''
