New York (April 24, 2001) - Engineering News-Record (ENR) magazine, the leading construction industry business weekly published by Construction Information Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies (NYSE: MHP), today announced that Janice Lyn Tuchman has been promoted to editor-in-chief. Ms. Tuchman replaces Howard B. Stussman, who is retiring his daily duties after working at ENR for 33-years. He will assume the position of editor emeritus.

Ms. Tuchman is only the third editor-in-chief at ENR over the past four decades. She succeeds Mr. Stussman and Arthur J. Fox Jr., who is also editor emeritus and has remained active in the industry since he retired at the end of 1988.

"It’s not an easy task to replace someone like Howard Stussman. His place and legacy in the industry is monumental. We sought far and wide for guidance to determine the best candidate for this incredibly important position. And with all of that groundwork and feedback, all roads led us back home. We are excited that Jan will step up as editor-in-chief and we are confident that she will excel in her new role," said Jay McGraw, publisher of Engineering News-Record.

Ms. Tuchman most recently served as ENR's executive editor.

As editor emeritus, Mr. Stussman will continue to consult and advise ENR in key areas. "Howard Stussman leaves a legacy of editorial integrity, guidance of and caring for the industry.
