===Modern magazine: 2005–present=== On August 30, 2005, ''Technology Review'' announced that R. Bruce Journey, publisher from 1996 to 2005, would be replaced by the then current Editor in Chief, Jason Pontin, and would reduce the print publication frequency from eleven to six issues per year while enhancing the publication's website.<ref name="globe2005">''The Boston Globe'', April 22, 2005, p. C3 "More of Writer's Stories Faulted—MIT Says Just 3 of 10 were Accurate"</ref> The [[Boston Globe]] characterized the change as a "strategic overhaul." Editor and publisher Jason Pontin stated that he would "focus the print magazine on what print does best: present[ing] longer-format, investigative stories and colorful imagery." [https://www.cridos.tech/ Technology Review's Web site], Pontin said, would henceforth publish original, daily news and analysis (whereas before it had merely republished the print magazine's stories). Finally, Pontin said that Technology Review's stories in print and online would identify and analyze emerging technologies.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://technologyreview.com/read_article.aspx?id=16053|title=A Letter to MIT Alumni|author=Jason Pontin|magazine=Technology Review|year=2005|access-date=2006-06-26}}</ref> This focus resembles that of the historical ''Technology Review.'' Pontin convinced copy editors to adopt the [[diaeresis mark]] for words like "coördinate", a [[English terms with diacritical marks|rarity in native English usage]], though failed to convince them to use [[logical punctuation]].<ref>{{cite web |title=You Get No ''Gotten'' in the New Yorker. |url=http://languagehat.com/you-get-no-gotten-in-the-new-yorker/ |quote=As for the diareses, it's just something we do: it shows you that the second vowel is pronounced as a second syllable. The New Yorker does it in this country, and it's not uncommon in the United Kingdom. There are a couple of other idiosyncratic style uses that I've been less successful in imposing on our copy desk. I'd love to insist on what's called "logical punctuation" in the English style, but the moral weight of the company insists that 'MIT Technology Review is an American publication.'}} (original comment on [https://www.technologyreview.com/s/514406/data-won-the-us-election-now-can-it-save-the-world/] before comments were disabled)</ref> Without evident comment, the July/August, 2017, issue revealed a shift in top personnel, with Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau listed as Chief Executive Officer and Publisher, and [[David Rotman]] as Editor.<ref name="auto"/> [[Gideon Lichfield]] was named editor-in-chief in November 2017.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.technologyreview.com/press-room/press-release/20171109-mit-technology-review-names-gideon-lichfield-editor-in-chief/|title=MIT Technology Review Names Gideon Lichfield Editor in Chief|magazine=Technology Review|year=2017|access-date=2019-03-13|archive-date=2018-11-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181110225917/https://www.technologyreview.com/press-room/press-release/20171109-mit-technology-review-names-gideon-lichfield-editor-in-chief/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2020, the Brazilian version of MIT Technology Review, known as MIT Technology Review Brasil, was launched.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mittechreview.com.br/}}</ref> The magazine, like many others has transitioned its focus from print to digital.<ref name="TheIssue">{{cite news |last1=McMurray |first1=Kelly |title=Amplifying the Institution's Mission |url=https://www.theissue.2communique.com/amplifying-the-institutions-mission/ |access-date=5 February 2024 |work=The Issue |publisher=2communiqué |date=7 February 2022}}</ref> Every year, the magazine publishes a list of the 10 technologies it considers the most influential.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.technologyreview.com/tr10/|title=10 Breakthrough Technologies 2006 - MIT Technology Review|last=Review|first=MIT Technology|work=MIT Technology Review |access-date=20 September 2017}}</ref>
