Computer Weekly is a digital magazine and website for IT professionals in the United Kingdom. It was formerly published as a weekly print magazine by Reed Business Information for over 45 years. The magazine was available free to IT professionals who met the circulation requirements. A small minority of issues were sold in retail outlets, with the bulk of revenue received from display and recruitment advertising. The magazine is still available for free as a PDF digital edition.
Computer Weekly was available in print and digital format and the readership was audited by BPA Worldwide, which verified its circulation twice yearly. The circulation figure was 135,035 according to the publisher’s statement in August 2007.
Bryan Glick is the editor-in-chief of Computer Weekly, having joined in 2009.
Topics covered within the magazine include outsourcing, security, data centers, information management, cloud computing, and mobile computing to computer hacking and strategy for IT management.
Computer Weekly won the UK Periodical Publishers Association (PPA) "Campaign of the Year" Award five times in seven years as it was involved in IT-related campaigns such as the costs of the NHS computer system, websites for disabled people and the Chinook crash on Mull of Kintyre.
'Downtime' is a section of the magazine which included a 2 column Dilbert.
The magazine was transferred to a digital edition in May 2011 after TechTarget bought the Computer Weekly website and events.
The website, ComputerWeekly.com, provides users with IT news and analysis, white papers and case studies. ComputerWeekly.com also provides information via webinars, podcasts, blogs, desktop alerts and RSS feeds.
