CMP Media LLC's Network Computing Magazine announced today that Rob Preston will lead the publication as editor in chief.

Rob Preston brings to Network Computing his 14 years of management experience in technology journalism. Before joining Network Computing, Preston served as editor-in-chief of InternetWeek, where he brought reader focus to the editorial product and spearheaded new print, research, events and online products while driving improvements to the publication's overall editorial quality.

"Network Computing is lucky enough to land someone like Rob Preston," stated Fritz Nelson, publisher of Network Computing. "He has an amazing ability to hone in on readers and find out what they need, what they like, and to build an editorial product that meets those needs. This is exactly the core focus of Network Computing. Combined with Jim Hutchinson, Network Computing's director of editorial content and the stellar editorial staff we have in place, Network Computing will continue its upward path of growth and success."

Under Preston's leadership, InternetWeek launched new sections focusing on how enterprises are deriving tangible returns from their Internet technology investments; reorganized beats along clearer technology and vertical industry lines; established an editorial advisory board of IT and e-business luminaries; and created the annual InternetWeek 100 special issue, which ranked the nation's leading Internet technology users. Preston previously spent three years at InformationWeek, most recently as senior managing editor, overseeing the industry-leading magazine's news and features coverage.

"I'm a big believer in the editorial approach of the brand: IT professionals with real world IT experience who write the publication from a real world perspective, in the first person," commented Rob Preston. "Being part of CMP, I have seen first-hand the success of Network Computing, and I am excited to now be a part of it."
