Folsom, CA (August 5, 2005) Responding to strong reader and advertiser response, Government Technology's Public CIO magazine will increase frequency to 6 times a year starting in February 2006.

Its steady growth has opened it to international readership and in August 2005 it published its largest issue yet with year-to-date ad revenues up 30% over last year.

Public CIO's editorial mission is to provide thought leadership on policies, strategies and best practices to c-level public sector IT executives and their peers. It reaches executives in Federal, State, local and international jurisdictions.
