Bosworth Named ConsumerAffairs.com's Managing Editor

LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2008 — ConsumerAffairs.com today announced the appointment of Martin H. Bosworth as Managing Editor, based in the company's Los Angeles headquarters.

Bosworth, a graduate of Boston University, has been a contributing editor to ConsumerAffairs.com since 2005, writing primarily about personal finance, privacy and telecommunications issues. His stories on credit card interchange fees, data theft and the turgid growth of broadband services have been among the consumer site's most widely read. He has also edited the site's weekly email newsletter, Consumer News & Alerts, for the last year.

"Martin has shown himself to be a meticulous writer and reporter. He has a great depth of knowledge in personal finance and technology and is also much more conversant with the mechanics of the Web than most writers and editors," said James R. Hood, ConsumerAffairs.com's president and editor in chief.

Besides his work with ConsumerAffairs.com, Bosworth has been a technical writer and Web editor for the Department of Defense and the District of Columbia government.

ConsumerAffairs.com, founded in 1998, serves about 1.5 million readers per month with consumer news, safety recall information and consumer complaints and comments about thousands of local businesses and national brands. Supported entirely by advertising, the site does not charge a subscription fee and there are no membership dues. The site's nearly 70,000 pages display selections from the nearly 350,000 complaints submitted by consumers.

The company also produces a Spanish-language site, Noticias para los Consumidores.com, widely read in Mexico and South America as well as in the United States.
