McGovern Recognized
IDG Chairman McGovern was recognized as ASBPE's 2004 Lifetime Achievement Award winner for his "foresight, hard work, entrepreneurial spirit, and a sense for what the world needs from journalism," according to the organization.
McGovern's foray into journalism occurred in 1959 as a biophysics student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, when he became associate editor of Computers and Automation, the first entry in a new publishing genre that became "computer magazines."
He has since overseen IDG's launch of more than 300 magazines and newspapers in 85 countries. In 1972, he began exporting the Computerworld concept, launching Shukan Computer in Japan. In 1980, he established the first joint venture between a U.S. company and the People's Republic of China. Today, IDG has more than 20 publications in China, the globe's fastest growing information technology market.
Other IDG publications in United States include Macworld, Network World, CIO, CSO, and Bio-IT World.
The IDG News Service, an internal newswire, links more than 1000 IDG editors and journalists and distributes news, features, commentary, and other editorial resources to IDG publications worldwide.
IDG publications have won more than 125 national editorial and design excellence awards from ASBPE from 1999 through 2003.
