NEW YORK, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ - Ziff Davis Media Inc. announced today the launch of the Chinese edition of CIO Insight (www.cioinsight.com), the business journal providing today's senior IT decision-makers with information about the cutting-edge strategies, management techniques and technology perspectives they need to succeed in the digital economy. The Chinese edition of CIO Insight is the first international edition of this leading magazine and adds to Ziff Davis Media's growing roster of international brands with publications in 45 countries and 17 languages.

SEEC/Ziff Davis Media Group (China) Ltd., Ziff Davis Media's joint venture partnership formed last year with SEEC Media Group, will publish the Chinese edition of CIO Insight. The joint venture launched PC Magazine China in November 2005, which has rapidly achieved success in its local market.

"We've recruited some of China's top journalistic talent and we are working hard to make CIO Insight China the most informative and relevant publication in its space."

CIO Insight China debuted with an initial rate base of 61,000 and will be published 12 times a year. Targeted at CIOs and senior IT decision-makers, CIO Insight focuses on strategy, technology, management and leadership, and examines how CIOs can use IT to help their company meet its strategic business objectives. The majority of the content featured in the Chinese edition will be written by local editorial staff. The publication will also incorporate content from the US edition of CIO Insight.

Since the inception of the joint venture, SEEC/Ziff Davis Media Group (China) has established online properties and executed integrated marketing campaigns, including live online events and market surveys. Ziff Davis Media plans to continue to strengthen its position as a worldwide leader in the enterprise and consumer technology market, offering technology marketers globally integrated marketing solutions.
