Doman takes over Popular Mechanics

Seasoned journalist and current deputy editor, Anthony Doman, will pick up the editorial reins at Popular Mechanics on 1 October with the retirement of founding editor, Alan Duggan, who has held the position since Popular Mechanics was launched locally in August 2002 - the centenary year of the eponymous American title.

Publisher Neil Piper described Doman's appointment as "well deserved and entirely appropriate", adding: "As part of a small but highly experienced team, Anthony's contribution to the magazine, its digital channels and brand extensions has been critical to its success. His appointment crowns a 20-year career with RamsayMedia and signals a new phase in the life story of this award-winning title. We wish him every success."

Said Doman: "I'd like to pay tribute to outgoing editor, Alan Duggan, for having crafted a uniquely South African offering that, besides being entertaining and thought-provoking, is an absolute blast to work on. I fully intend to keep that vibe going." That aside, the new man's immediate goals include boosting Popular Mechanics' consumer tech and DIY coverage.
