Jim Mathews is Washington bureau chief for the real-time news operation of Aviation Week's AviationNow.com, a business-to-business aviation and aerospace Web portal. He worked with the team that launched the Web publication.

Mathews has been a reporter and editor for 19 years, working in radio, magazines and daily trade journalism. Positions have included financial editor of Aerospace Daily, executive editor of the Spotlight on Finance quarterly review, and chief editor of two biweeklies -- Aero Safety & Maintenance and Aviation Week's Knowledge Business -- that he developed and launched in 1997.
