Imagine Publishing appoints respected technology Editor to front the
UK’s bestselling independent PlayStation magazine
Imagine Publishing has enlisted the editorial expertise of award-
winning games journalist, Keith Hennessey, as the new Editor of Play
magazine and its companion website
Play-Mag.co.uk. Having spent time
working on the company’s innovative videogames portal NowGamer.com,
Keith returns to print publishing where he has extensive experience
working on and contributing to titles such as X360, SciFiNow, HD
Review, Total PC Gaming and games™.
Commenting on the new appointment, Hennessey said, “It’s a real honour
for me to be working on such a prestigious magazine. Play was the
first ever PlayStation magazine, and has a long and illustrious
history stretching back to 1995. I hope to use my knowledge of both
print and online publishing to maintain the high standards set by Nick
Jones and to push the brand even further in the future.”
Now in its fourteenth year, and with 186 issues published, Play has
established itself as the definitive PlayStation magazine, a title
that is important to readers and the games industry alike with its
reputation for forthright independent reviews and delivering its
readers the very best in cover exclusives. Play has always been the
hardcore gamer’s choice and is the only magazine to remain unchanged
and successfully bridge the gap between every generation of
PlayStation console. Play’s dedicated team includes some of the most
well-respected PlayStation journalists in the country and is
considered by many to be the true voice of the PlayStation market.
“Sony has worked hard to ensure its products are now at the top of
every gamer’s wishlist, and with the impressive line-up of triple-A
titles slated for release next year, 2010 is shaping up to be
PlayStation’s year,” added Hennessey. “I’m really looking forward to
being part of it and giving Play readers the very best coverage both
online and through exciting and innovative magazine exclusives.”
