There are several different versions of PC Magazine. The UK edition was taken over by VNU in 2000 and ceased publication in 2002, although they still maintain a website. The columnists moved to Personal Computer World.
PC Magazine UK's launch edition was dated April 1992, and the launch event, in March of that year, was on a scale that no other technology magazine had experienced before, or has experienced since. It was typical of the way that publisher Ziff-Davis conducted its business over the nine years of its presence in the UK.
Prior to the launch, ZD UK, headed by MD David Craver, started recruiting technology journalists and columnists some nine months before the launch. Star columnists - they were called Fellows - were Peter Jackson and Guy Kewney, and the launch editor was Steve Malone.
Famous quotes containing the word magazine:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
