In April 2026, Electronics Weekly started a new chapter in its long history, switching to a fully digital publishing model. The move marked an important milestone in a subject that has served the global electronics engineering community for more than 65 years, reflecting both changing student behavior and the growing opportunities of digital media.
The revolution wasn’t just about getting rid of print. Rather, it represents a strategic investment in digital content, data, and enabling events Electronics Weekly delivering maximum speed to its readers while providing advertisers with measurable value. As developers and industry professionals increasingly access information online, publishing is now fully in sync with how its audience now learns, interacts and connects.
Editor Caroline Hayes described the change as an empowering revolution for the brand. “The speed of the web is exciting,” he said. “It enables us to bring information closer to events and more options for readers to digest news and information.”
This momentum underscores the publication’s desire to expand digital formats, including daily news, in-depth analysis, video, podcasts, and a growing program of online and virtual events.
The last print edition of *Electronics Weekly* was published on March 18, 2026, closing a proud chapter in print publishing. Now there is a strong focus on digital innovation. A new-look website is planned for later in the year, designed to improve the user experience while supporting deeper data insights and richer content formats.
According to Steve Ray, associate publisher of Electronics Weeklythe move was a direct response to market needs and future-proofing of the publication. By going fully digital, the team can invest more in what readers and partners value most: trusted journalism, timely information and meaningful engagement. Importantly, the digital model also better serves a large and growing international audience, ensuring that quality journalism remains globally accessible.
For marketers, the benefits of the digital revolution are equally appealing. Enhanced digital programs will include CPL lead generation, improved campaign definition and expanded audience understanding and measurement capabilities. These tools provide greater transparency and a clear return on investment, helping brands to effectively communicate with highly specialized and influential audiences.
Along with daily journalism, Electronics Weekly will continue to expand its prestigious awards programs, including the Women in Electronics and Elektra Awards, and its calendar of content-led events. One highlight that will be held later in 2026 is the Energy Breakthrough at the AI Age event in October, which will bring together industry voices to explore emerging challenges and opportunities.
We look forward to seeing how Electronics Weekly will continue to innovate and inform in its new format.
