GoKawiilMIT Technology Review previews new print magazine direction under incoming editor
MIT Technology Review's print magazine has a new leader who describes recent changes including the return of regular lists and infographics. The editor says the latest issue marks a bigger shift toward more experimental, ambitious storytelling, with a special issue focused on 'impossible' ideas like synthetic blood, brain uploading and decoding animal speech.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The shift suggests MIT Technology Review is repositioning its print product to emphasize bold, speculative science coverage rather than purely incremental tech reporting, which could appeal to readers seeking big-picture framing of research. This editorial repositioning may also reflect broader pressures on print magazines to differentiate themselves in a crowded digital news environment.
- A new editor has taken over MIT Technology Review's print magazine as of this spring.
- The magazine is reintroducing lists and infographics and promising more experimental, ambitious feature stories.
- A themed issue explores 'impossible' scientific ambitions such as synthetic blood and brain uploading.
