Future’s computing titles have taken on two new editors and a deputy.
Ian Robson has been appointed the editor of PC Plus magazine, replacing Adam Evans, who has moved across to edit the newly launched Digital Camera Magazine.
And Ian Harris has joined Mac Format as deputy editor. The move makes Harris, 21, the title’s youngest person to have had that role to date. He was formerly staff writer and features editor on sister title PC Format. He has also worked on the Bolton Evening News, Wigan Reporter and has freelanced for MixMag, The Guardian and Press Gazette. Before PC Plus, Robson was associate editor of Dennis Publishing’s PC Pro. He said there were no plans for any immediate changes to the magazine. “I want to settle in and see what the readership is like before I make any huge changes. I don’t want to alienate people. There are obviously plans to grow the readership and make the magazine better known in the industry as well as on the news-stands,” he said.
