InfoWorld (IW) is an American information technology media business that began as a monthly magazine in 1978, but transitioned to a Web publication in 2007. Having Macworld and PC World as its sister publications, it has been owned by Regent LP since 2025.[2]
Overview
Based in San Francisco, IW has contributors and supporting staff based across the U.S.[3] Since its founding, InfoWorldTemplate:'s readership has largely consisted of IT and business professionals.
InfoWorld focuses on how-to, analysis, and editorial content from a mixture of experienced technology journalists and working technology practitioners. The site averages 4.6 million monthly page views and 1.1 million monthly unique visitors.[4]
History
The magazine was founded by Jim Warren in 1978 as The Intelligent Machines Journal (IMJ).[5]
In February 1980, one year after being sold to International Data Group (IDG),[6] the magazine changed its name to InfoWorld.[1] In 1986, the Robert X. Cringely column began; for many, that pseudonymous column was the face of InfoWorld and its close ties to Silicon Valley in particular.[1][7][8]
Up to and including the 15 June 1987 issue 24, volume 9, InfoWorld was published by Popular Computing, Inc., a subsidiary of CW Communications, Inc. Since then, it has been published by InfoWorld Publishing, Inc., a subsidiary of IDG Communications, Inc.
Ethernet inventor Bob Metcalfe was CEO and publisher from 1991 to 1996, and contributed a weekly column until 2000.[9][10] As the magazine transitioned to be exclusively Web-based, the final print edition was dated 2 April 2007 (Volume 29, Issue 14, Number 1384).[1]
In its web incarnation, InfoWorld has transitioned away from widely available news stories to a focus on how-to, expert testing, and thought leadership.[11]
