OSnews as of 2012

OSNews is a computing online newspaper. It originally focused on operating systems and their related technologies that launched in 1997, but is now aggregating consumer electronics news. The content is managed by a group of editors and the owner.[1] As of 2014, its managing editor is Thom Holwerda, who joined in 2005.[2]

OSnews has been referenced by TIME,[3] Ars Technica,[4][5] Wired,[6][7] Computerworld,[8][9] LifeHacker,[10][11][12] Linux.com,[13] OMG! Ubuntu![14] and lwn.net.[15] Wired described OSnews as "an alternative operating system Web magazine",[16] and in 2011 Holwerda noted that "while the alternative operating systems scene might no longer be the prime focus of OSNews due to a lack of activity in that field, it's still where our heart lies."[17]
