CMP Media announces the appointment of Mark Lapedus to editor of Semiconductor Business News (SBN) (http:/www.siliconstrategies.com), the leading news web site for semiconductor industry managers and executives.

Lapedus, a semiconductor industry news veteran who joined SBN in 1999 as managing editor, has held various positions with CMP including EBN West Coast Bureau Chief; Asian correspondent in Taipei, Taiwan; and from 1986 to 1991 Lapedus was a reporter in Silicon Valley for Electronic News.

SBN, an EE Times Network web site, delivers a sharp news focus on manufacturing --particularly in the area of foundries and next-generation semiconductor fabrication process technology. As the second most heavily trafficked web site in the Network, SBN records more than 1 million page views each month. SBN's global news charter supports the recently introduced Silicon Engineering initiative in EE Times.

SBN's coverage of foundries and other outsourcing trends in manufacturing will also play a key role in supporting EBN's expanding business charter in the area of international electronics supply and sourcing. "SBN's wire service or radio-like approach to breaking industry news is a strong compliment to EE Times' and EBN's online news franchise. Together, these three online news sites publish more news stories, more often, from around the world of electronics than any other source in the world," says Richard Wallace, EE Times VP/Editorial director.
