FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BZ Media's Systems Management News Moves to a Monthly
Magazine Format
Publisher responds to industry’s call for 12x
frequency,
technology focus for IT management magazine
Huntington, N.Y., August 7, 2008 — BZ Media LLC,
publisher of Systems Management News, today announced that the publication
is shifting to a monthly frequency and standard 8x10-inch format, beginning
with its October issue.
Systems Management News, launched in early 2008, is
written specifically for IT managers in charge of operations, data centers,
storage, mail & messaging, database, IT operations and other systems
administration departments. Initially, Systems Management News was published
twice-monthly in a 10x13-inch tabloid-sized format.
Ted Bahr, President of BZ Media and Publisher of Systems
Management News, said, “We have listened to the enthusiastic response from
readers and advertisers to our newest publication, and the message was
clear: We needed to move to a monthly format to better accommodate
advertisers’ artwork requirements, as well as rationalized print advertising
budgets. Readers indicated that they like receiving news from our Web site,
SysManNews.com, and
our e-newsletter, Systems Management Week, but want more in-depth
technical coverage in the print magazine. We’re meeting both those needs as
of the October issue.”
The circulation of Systems Management News was 40,000
fully qualified, individual request subscribers as of its debut issue, and
this is remaining unchanged in the new frequency and format. A BPA Audit has
already been applied for.
With the frequency and format change, P.J. Connolly,
Executive Editor of BZ Media’s SD Times, has been promoted to Editor of
Systems Management News. David Rubinstein, who led the publication’s launch
team, has returned to his previous position as Editor-in-Chief of SD Times.
Advertising rates begin at $3,895 for a 1x black-and-white
page. BZ Media offers combined-frequency discounts for advertisers in the
company’s other print properties, SD Times and Software Test & Performance,
as well as packages that include Web and e-newsletter advertising and
lead-generation programs. Contact Ted Bahr, Publisher, at
ted@bzmedia.com or +1-631-421-4158 x101
to discuss rates and programs.
