Summit Publishing Company Welcomes Packaging Journalist to Packaging World Editorial Team

Chicago-based Summit Publishing Company expands staff with the addition of a respected packaging journalist to their flagship trade magazine, Packaging World.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 7, 2007

Summit Publishing Company has hired packaging journalist Anne Marie Mohan to join the Packaging World editorial team. Packaging World is a monthly business publication for packaging users and is the Chicago-based publisher's flagship magazine. Mohan joins the staff as Senior Editor.

A Chicago native, Mohan attended Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. After graduating, she worked briefly as a staff reporter with the Ottawa Daily Times newspaper in Ottawa, IL, covering the school beat. Mohan's first foray into the business-to-business trade press was with JKL, Inc., a former Lake Forest, IL-based publisher of a monthly trade magazine, U. S. Glass, Metal & Glazing, as well as the annual Architect's Guide to Glass, Metal & Glazing. From there she moved to Innes Publishing, Libertyville, IL, as the editor of Instant & Small Commercial Printer and In-Plant Printer.

Since 2000, Mohan has been a senior editor at Reed Business Information's Packaging Digest, where she specialized in covering trends in package manufacturing, smart and active packaging, RFID, and sustainability, among other topics.

Packaging World VP/Editor, Pat Reynolds, shares his enthusiasm. "We're thrilled that Anne Marie is a member of the Packaging World team. Throughout her years in the packaging press, she has been highly respected as a journalist and a professional. Our readers will benefit by her insight and industry knowledge, and we wish her the best as she joins our dedicated team of editors."

Packaging World's VP/Publisher, Joe Angel, agrees. "Anne Marie is a welcome addition to our industry-leading editorial team. She brings the requisite talent and experience to nurture our new print and Web editorial initiatives, while ensuring a continuation of our high journalistic standards."
