Computerworld (abbreviated as CW) is a computer magazine published since 1967 aimed at information technology (IT) and business technology professionals. Original a print magazine, Computerworld published its final print issue in 2014; since then, it has been available as an online news website and as an online magazine.
As a printed weekly during the 1970s and into the 1980s, Computerworld was the leading trade publication in the data processing industry. Based on circulation and revenue it was one of the most successful trade publications in any industry. Later in the 1980s it began to lose its dominant position.
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. The publisher of Computerworld, Foundry (formerly IDG Communications), is a subsidiary of International Data Group.
