KEVIN HOGAN AND MARGOT DOUAIHY
NAMED AS NEW AV TECHNOLOGY EDITORIAL TEAM

Pair Take the Reins as Editorial Director and Managing Editor
of the Leading AV/IT Technology Manager Resource

NEW YORK, January 22, 2010 – NewBay Media has announced that, effective immediately, Kevin Hogan has been named Editorial Director of AV Technology, the largest AV/IT end-user publication. Margot Douaihy has also joined the editorial team as Managing Editor for the title. Founding Editor Mark Mayfield has left NewBay Media to join the marketing department of a technology manufacturer.

"Mark did an excellent job laying the foundation for AV Technology," states Publisher Sue Horwitz. "While he'll be missed, we couldn't be happier about Mark's opportunity, and wish him the very best."

Kevin Hogan is currently Editorial Director of NewBay's Tech & Learning brand, a position he will keep in addition to his AV Technology duties. Prior to joining NewBay, he held positions as Executive Editor at Scholastic Administrator, Senior Editor of MIT Technology Review, and Editor of the magazine's website. He was also formerly a Features Editor for Business2.0 magazine.

"Kevin understands the information AV/IT managers need -- and the ways in which they like to receive it," says VP/Group Publisher Adam Goldstein. "He has built the Tech & Learning readership into a vibrant community. I have complete confidence that he will bring the same high quality and immediacy to AV Technology's network of technology managers."

Margot Douaihy is a Contributing Editor to Residential Systems, a sister publication of AV Technology, as well as a writer for HD Living and Installation Europe. She writes about the creative economy and green innovation for Green Life Smart Life, and has been a guest lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, The New School University, and Ramapo College of New Jersey.

"Margot has been a valuable asset for NewBay for years, including as a contributor to AV Technology," adds Goldstein. "She is an extremely conscientious editor, always looking for the latest technology and trends that will benefit her readers, and making sure they are the first to hear about it.

"AV Technology was launched in 2008 as a bi-monthly and quickly became the AV/IT technology industry's leading title, expanding to its current 10-times schedule the following year because of positive reader and advertiser response," Goldstein continues. "In the past year, we've developed a successful series of 'Technology Manager Guides' [http://www.avtechnologyonline.com/section/TechnologyManagerGuides.aspx] that have demonstrated tremendous ROI for our advertisers and serviced our readers with more in-depth editorial on topics that include videoconferencing, digital signage, and streaming media."
