ComputerWeekly is a weekly magazine for IT professionals which has been published by Reed Business Information for over 40 years. The magazine is available free to IT professionals who meet the circulation requirements. A small minority of issues are sold in retail outlets, with the bulk of revenue received from display and recruitment advertising.

Computer Weekly is available in print and digital format and the readership is audited by BPA Worldwide, which verifies its circulation twice yearly. The current circulation figure is 135,035 (Publisher’s Statement August 2007).

Bryan Glick is the Editor-in-chief of Computer Weekly, joining in 2009.

Topics covered within the magazine include outsourcing, security and mobile computing to computer hacking and strategy for IT management. Career Moves is the recruitment section which provides listings of IT jobs.

Computer Weekly has won the UK Periodical Publishers Association (PPA) "Campaign of the Year" Award five times in the last seven years as it has been 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 includes a 2 column Dilbert and a humorous Diary written by a Data Processing Manager.

The magazine was closed in 2011[1]; TechTarget bought the Computer Weekly website and events.[2]
