Janice L. Tuchman
Editor-in-Chief, Engineering News-Record

For the past 2 decades, Janice (Jan) Lyn Tuchman has served as Editor-in-Chief at Engineering News-Record (ENR), the magazine the industry depends on for weekly news, long-term trend analysis, and in-depth features on important events and accomplishments in construction. For most industry leaders, Jan is something of a fixture—ever present at the important conferences and meetings, always involved in the vanguard initiatives—reliably making sense of the rapid change and evolving challenges faced by executives and project professionals alike. The focused and forward-looking content she produces with her team, week after week, reflects her long career at ENR and her ascent to its editorship.

Jan received a BS in Journalism with a minor in Architecture as well as a master’s in Journalism at University of Colorado in Boulder. She was hired at ENR as an assistant editor in 1976, then in 2001, rose to the position she holds today, taking charge of the entire magazine. For her, the job of editor-in-chief is a twofold sacred trust: to keep news and data flowing to help keep the industry vital and evergreen; and to keep the flame of ENR—a pioneer of business-to-business journalism published since 1874— burning brightly. Keeping both commitments requires a tremendous sensitivity to change. Indeed, in this role, the challenge of keeping up with the pace of change in the industry is matched only by that of keeping up with new developments in publishing. In this regard, Jan helped manage ENR’s conversion to desktop publishing, guided the launch of its website, and advocated for its mobile news app and its current tablet-based app. 

To keep the industry informed, Jan keeps the magazine focused on current market challenges and opportunities, while staying alert to emerging trends and breakthroughs. In 2012, she oversaw the launch of ENR’s 10 regional editions, to respond to readers’ calls for more news about their own diverse and complex markets. Led by Jan’s vision, ENR enterprise is now on multiple platforms, offering print, electronic, and in-person content. 

As part of her commitment to recruiting young people into construction, she led a federally funded project to custom-publish a series of magazines for high school students about high-growth industries such as construction. The program, called In Demand, published a million of copies of each issue for distribution in every U.S. high school.
