History

Originally published by Haymarket Publishing, it was one of two magazines (the other being Accountancy Age) that were purchased by VNU to launch their business in the UK. It is largely a controlled circulation publication, mailed without charge to members of the British Computer Society and other accredited workers in the field of computing. A small minority of issues are sold on newsstands, with the bulk of funding for production arising from advertising.

Along with Computer Weekly (and formerly IT Week), Computing is the mainstay of the UK computer industry trade press. Historically, Computing was aimed at business-focused readers, with Computer Weekly catering for readers seeking more technical coverage. This distinction blurred and dissolved in the late 1980s, with IT Week filling the gap left in technology-focused business coverage from 1998, but in recent years Computing has once more pursued a business-oriented agenda since IT Week was bought by VNU Business Publications to create complementary publications. VNU Business Publications was acquired by Incisive Media in 2007.

The Computing web site was relaunched with new video and audio content and a focus on extensive reader interactivity in early 2007. About a dozen regular bloggers were introduced to create dynamic content for the online version of the magazine, some of these blogs also being carried in the print title. The editor contributes a regular blog.

The long-term editor of Computing, Bryan Glick, left the title in November 2009 to pursue a new role as editor-in-chief of Computer Weekly. He was replaced in January 2010 by Abigail Warakar.

Incisive Media announced that the print edition of Computing will change from a weekly to bi-weekly magazine from 10 June 2010.^[1]
