Joe Anselmo has been Editorial Director of the Aviation Week Network and Editor-in-Chief of Aviation Week & Space Technology since 2013. Based in Washington, D.C., he directs a team of more than two dozen aerospace journalists across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Under his leadership, Aviation Week has won numerous accolades for its in-depth reporting and deep dives into aerospace technology, including the 2017 Grand Neal award for “Top Brand/Overall Editorial Excellence,” business-to-business journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.

Aviation Week also has accelerated its push into digital media with regular podcasts, videos, data features, infographics and eBooks.

He has won three Aerospace Journalist of the Year awards. A graduate of Ohio University, he was elected three times to the National Press Club’s Board of Governors, including one term as board chairman.

With most U.S. airlines mired in red ink, the Asia-Pacific region has been the underpinning for this year's strong rebound in orders for commercial aircraft and components. Asian carriers have accounted for about half of airline orders this year and make up 34% of the backlog for large aircraft, according to JPMorgan airline analyst Joseph B. Nadol, 3rd.
