Founders Emeritus
Stephen Saunders Founder, ex-President; current Senior Conternal Insultant, CMP Technology
Saunders began his publishing career in 1984 as a van boy (n., Chiefly Brit.: a boy who rides on a van) for BBC Publications, delivering its Radio Times magazine in the East End of London. For the next nine years he held a succession of low-paid and menial positions, before being plucked from obscurity by Light Reading cofounder Peter "Fagin" Heywood, who hired him as his editorial assistant/gopher at Data Communications magazine. As the other editors left, fell sick, were imprisoned, or died, Saunders ascended to the tippy top of Data Communications' editorial masthead – whence he promptly crashed when, in 1999, CMP bought the magazine and shut it down. Saunders and his mentor then created Light Reading, chaperoning it to great heights of trade publishing success until, in a massive dose of irony, it was acquired by CMP in September of 2005. Formerly the
President of Light Reading, Saunders continues to serve as a Senior Internal Consultant for CMP, which basically means early retirement. He holds an utterly worthless joint honors degree in English Literature and Drama from Hull University. Saunders@TheInsultant.com
