Ars Technica, founded in 1998, stands as a pillar in the realm of tech publications, delivering original news, reviews, and in-depth analysis. With its slogan, “Original news, reviews, analysis of tech trends, and expert advice on the most fundamental aspects of tech,” Ars Technica caters specifically to "alpha geeks" — tech enthusiasts and IT professionals seeking comprehensive and engaging content.
Founded by Ken Fisher in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the publication has established itself as a trusted source for diverse topics ranging from tech policy and scientific advancements to gadget reviews. The operations are sustained by its unique editorial team, including significant contributors like Jon Stokes and Eric Bangeman.
In 2008, Ars Technica was acquired by Advance, the parent company of Conde Nast, making it Conde Nast’s sole 100% digitally native editorial publication. With offices in multiple major cities, Ars continues to thrive without any recent investment rounds.
