Mark Leary will continue as Publisher, while Jonathan Barrett and Max Maxfield will retain their editorial responsibilities for ESNA and DENA respectively. Publishing schedules, circulations, and all current advertising and editorial bookings will remain unchanged, with the January 2026 editions of both titles set to be published under the WMG banner.<\/p>\n<p>As Mark hands over ownership to his son (good luck getting your expenses signed off Mark), the transition marks a significant moment in the history of the Electronics Sourcing brand, seeing the brand move under the leadership of the next generation, and setting the stage for a new and fresh approach with the publications moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                    <!--begin code --><\/p>\n<p>                    <!--end code --><\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Leary, Owner and Publisher of MMG Publishing, has announced that the Electronics Sourcing North America (ESNA) and Designing Electronics North America (DENA) magazines, plus associated products, have been acquired by WMG Publishing Limited, a company owned and run by his son William.
