Summary
Scott Hayden was promoted to Road to VR executive editor, taking over editorial decisions and strategy after rising from freelancer in 2014 to editor in 2019.
Ben Lang moved out of the top editorial role after 15 years to become business director, focusing part-time on reader experience and platform upgrades.
Lang also took a full-time job as VITURE’s head of strategic partnerships, prompting Road to VR to bar him from covering VITURE or any matters creating conflicts of interest.
Road to VR said Hayden will steer coverage as XR and AI increasingly intersect, while the publication emphasizes maintaining independent journalism rather than industry promotion.
