Gary Steinman Joins Newtype USA as Editor-in-Chief
Houston, TX, January 12, 2004—Newtype USA, the leading consumer magazine for anime and manga fans, has appointed Gary Steinman Editor-in-Chief of the publication. The announcement was made today by John Ledford, the Publisher of Newtype USA and the CEO and founder of its parent company, A.D. Vision, Inc.

Steinman worked in close collaboration with Sony, the manufacturer of the PlayStation game platform, and third-party software publishers on providing content for the Sony-produced demo disc included in the magazine. He also worked with Sony marketing executives on various issues relating to the magazine's official license. During his five-year tenure with Ziff Davis, Steinman was involved with two major redesigns of the magazine.
Prior to his employment with Ziff Davis, Steinman served as Copy Editor of TheStreet.com, a leading provider of independent and insightful investment commentary, advice, research and news. Steinman has also held the post of Associate Editor for The Conference Board, a global, independent membership organization that creates and disseminates knowledge about management and the marketplace to help businesses strengthen their performance and better serve society; and worked his way up from Research Editor to Managing Editor of Selling, a newsletter for sales professionals.
