Computerworld (abbreviated as CW) is an ongoing[7] decades-old professional publication which in 2014 "went digital."[2] Its audience is information technology (IT) and business technology professionals,[8] and is available via a publication website and as a digital magazine.

As a printed weekly during the 1970s and into the 1980s, Computerworld was the leading trade publication in the data processing industry.[9][10] Based on circulation and revenue it was one of the most successful trade publications in any industry.[9] Later in the 1980s it began to lose its dominant position.[10]

It is published in many countries around the world under the same or similar names. Each country's version of Computerworld includes original content and is managed independently.[citation needed] The publisher of Computerworld, Foundry (formerly IDG Communications), is a subsidiary of International Data Group.[11]

History

The publication was launched in 1967 by International Data Group in Boston, whose founder was Patrick J. McGovern.[12][13]

Going international

The company IDG offers the brand "Computerworld" in 47 countries worldwide, the name and frequency differ slightly though.[14] When IDG established the Swedish edition in 1983 i.e., the title "Computerworld" was already registered in Sweden by another publisher. This is why the Swedish edition is named Computer Sweden [sv]. The corresponding German publication is called Computerwoche (which translates to "computer week") instead.

Computer Sweden was distributed as a morning newspaper in tabloid format (41 cm) in 51,000 copies (2007) with an estimated 120,000 readers. From 1999 to 2008, it was published three days a week, but since 2009, it was published only on Tuesdays and Fridays.[15][16][17]

Going digital

In June 2014, Computerworld US abandoned its print edition, becoming an exclusively digital publication.[2] In July 2014, the publisher started the monthly Computerworld Digital Magazine.[18] In 2017 it published features and stories highlighting the magazine's history on the fiftieth anniversary.

Computerworld's website first appeared in 1996.[19]

Ongoing

Computerworld US serves IT and business management with coverage of information technology,[20] emerging technologies and analysis of technology trends.[21] Computerworld also publishes several notable special reports each year, including the 100 Best Places to Work in IT,[7] IT Salary Survey, the DATA+ Editors' Choice Awards and the annual Forecast research report. Computerworld in the past has published stories that highlight the effects of immigration to the U.S. (e.g. the H-1B visa) on software engineers.[22][23]

Staff

The executive editor of Computerworld in the U.S. is Ken Mingis, who leads a small staff of editors, writers and freelancers who cover a variety of enterprise IT topics (with a concentration on Windows, Mobile and Apple/Enterprise).[24]
