Automotive News is a weekly trade newspaper owned and published by Crain Communications, Inc. First published in 1925, it is headquartered in Detroit, Mich. Automotive News was purchased by Crain Communcations in 1971 from Slocum Publishing, which founded the newspaper. It also covers international automotive news with Automotive News Europe, Automobilwoche (the German-language magazine for automotive executives) and Automotive News China. Automotive News' audience is primarily automobile dealers. 95.7 percent of dealers with more than $35 million in sales receive Automotive News and 76.8 percent of those dealers rank the newspaper as the most important automotive publication. It is the most widely received trade magazine by more than a 2 to 1 margin. Dealers each own an average of 2.8 dealerships. In February 2010, Automotive News reported on Toyota's sales fallout due to its massive recall due to faulty accelerator pedals, calling it Toyota's "worst ever quality crisis." A reporter from the newspaper's Tokyo office reported on the reasons why Toyota "quietly disbanded" Toyota's "Customer First" quality meetings in 2009 before the crisis even took place. Keith Crain is the Editor-in-Chief, Richard Johnson is the Managing Editor, Peter Brown is the Publisher and Editorial Director, and Jason Stein is the Editor.
