Mitch Betts’s Experience

Executive Editor

Computerworld

(Privately Held; Publishing industry)

June 1984 — Present (25 years 7 months)

IDG's media brand Computerworld has a magazine targeted at corporate IT managers -- and a very robust Web site (Computerworld.com).

As executive editor, I manage editorial operations (print and online), including internal processes, personnel, policies, practices and planning.

In recent years, I've been a leader at moving Computerworld's Editorial Department to an online-centric model, integrating print and online operations, and reinventing the Computerworld magazine.

Previously, I was features editor, cover story editor, opinions editor, national correspondent and Washington bureau chief. I started at Computerworld in June 1984 as a Washington correspondent.

Computerworld is owned by International Data Group Inc. (IDG).
