Mike Magee Leaves TheInquirer PDF Print E-mail

mike.jpgAfter co-founding one of the oldest and largest online tech publications TheRegister in 1994, then moving on to greener pastures full of "voles", "chipzilla's" and "everywhere girls" when he founded TheInquirer in 2001, Mike Magee is calling it quits . Just this morning TheInquirer posted news that "Mageek" would be leaving the publication at the end of February, and that Paul Hales will take his place as Editor.

Mageek said: “I really do owe the readers of the INQUIRER and those who supported me when I started it an apology, sorry really big vote of thanks. I’ve enjoyed every day I’ve worked on the INQUIRER apart from the day I had a triple bypass op.

"I also want to thank the loyal bunch of hacks who’ve helped turn the mag into the success story it became.”

Mike Magee and TheInquirer changed the landscape of tech news reporting by doing things their own way and refusing to bow to industry pressure to gloss over the news. It is a publication both feared and respected by the industry at large, and one that we hope continues to cut it's own path without Mageek at the helm.

Even if Mike rarely posted our news and reviews [no we're not bitter... ED.] we wish him well in whatever future endeavors strike his fancy. Whatever they are, they probably won't be tame.

I've been following "Mageeks" irreverent approach to tech news for well over a decade now both at TheRegister and TheInquirer. The fresh and opinionated perspective he brought to the news made the news all that much more enjoyable, and his flavor of writing and reporting the news in this crazy business will be sorely missed.
