Design News is a business-to-business media brand covering news, trends, and technology insights for the engineering community.[1] Owned by Informa Markets — Engineering, it is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. The brand has been in publication since 1946.[2]
Design News began as a monthly print magazine, serving design, mechanical, and electrical engineers. As of December 2014, its print circulation was audited at 96,667 by the BPA.[3] In 2010, Reed Business Information sold Design News—along with other U.S. electronics titles—to Canon Communications. Canon was subsequently acquired by United Business Media (UBM). In 2018, Informa purchased UBM in a deal valued at $5.3 billion.[4] Over time, Design News transitioned to an online-only publication, although it retains its original focus on engineering and manufacturing topics.[5]
Design News serves engineers in the aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics/appliance, government/defense, industrial machinery, medical device, robotics, and other high-tech markets. Editorial topics include design engineering, design for manufacturing, automation, artificial intelligence, materials science, motion control, 3D printing, digitalization, power/energy, and sustainability. It also addresses engineering career development and education.
