CLEVELAND — Questex Media Group LLC has expanded the editorial staff of Pest Management Professional, its publication serving the pest management industry for more than 75 years.
First, Marty Whitford returns to Pest Management Professional as editor-in-chief. Whitford was promoted to editor-in-chief of sister publication Landscape Management in April 2008 from his senior editor role with Pest Management Professional. He has nearly 18 years of experience in the business-to-business media environment with six years at Questex.
“Marty is an award-winning journalist and editorial leader at Questex who also has a very solid background in the pest management industry,” said Publisher George Casey. “We welcome his return as we re-align the structure of our editorial staff to better serve the needs of the PMP audience. We also want to thank Editorial Director Frank Andorka for his many contributions to PMP and the industry over the years. We certainly wish him well in the future.”
Pest Management Professional editorial staff updates also include the addition of the new technical editor role. Pete Grasso, who served as managing editor of Pest Management Professional, has been promoted to the technical editor position. Grasso joined Pest Management Professional in 2008 and has nearly 10 years editorial experience.
Dan Jacobs has been named managing editor of Pest Management Professional. Jacobs is also managing editor for sister publication Landscape Management.
“Pest Management Professional currently delivers to its audience industry-leading technology-related information, business management-information and community and human interest features, which is what our research tells us they want," added Casey. "Yet it is clear they crave even more technical content, so we’ve created the new technical editor role and plan to disseminate even more leading technical content across our print and digital media. Marty, Pete and Dan play key roles in this endeavor and we are excited about PMP's future.”
