weekly magazine, also available in a digital version called EE Times Edge,

is dedicated to those who seek big-picture analysis of developments in the

industry, new technologies and global market trends, EE Times is also

committed to delivering up-to-the-minute breaking news via online, RSS

beefs up our diversified media activities even further," added Yoshida.

the past 12 years, mainly within the semiconductor industry. Most recently,

McGrath worked at Autodesk Inc. as corporate intranet editor.

as a writer and account manager with Loomis Group, Inc., an integrated

marketing agency that represents a number of leading semiconductor

equipment and materials companies. Prior, McGrath covered semiconductor

capital equipment, manufacturing, and electronic design automation for

Electronic News.



    "I am thrilled to be coming back to one of the most respected

electronics publishing organizations in the world," said McGrath. "I look
