</p><p>The print edition ceased in 2012, "and eWeek became an all-digital publication"),<sup id="cite_ref-P2012_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-P2012-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> at which time Quinstreet acquired the magazine from Internet company <a href="Ziff_Davis" title="Ziff Davis">Ziff Davis</a>, along with Baseline.com, ChannelInsider.com, CIOInsight.com, and WebBuyersGuide.com.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p><i>eWeek</i> was started under the name <i>PCWeek</i> on Feb. 28, 1984.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The magazine was called <i>PCWeek</i> until 2000,<sup id="cite_ref-NYT_WAS.PCweek_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYT_WAS.PCweek-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> during which time it covered the rise of business computing in America; as <i>eWeek</i>, it increased its online presence and covers more kinds of worldwide technologies.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The magazine was started by <a href="Ziff_Davis" title="Ziff Davis">Ziff Davis</a><sup id="cite_ref-NYT_WAS.PCweek_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NYT_WAS.PCweek-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> to cover the use of computers as business tools.

</p><p>Team members that started <i>PCWeek</i> included John Dodge, the first news editor; Lois Paul, the first features editor; and Sam Whitmore, the first reporter, who later went on to become editor-in-chief.<sup id="cite_ref-SamW_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SamW-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>At the time, many magazines at the time already covered business computing, such as <i><a href="Datamation" title="Datamation">Datamation</a></i> and <i><a href="Computerworld" title="Computerworld">Computerworld</a></i>. There were also magazines dedicated to hobbyist machines, so it seemed there was no place for a weekly issue to fit in. The first few issues had only 22 pages of advertising, but then <i>PCWeek</i> began establishing itself. By the end of the first year, the average number of advertising pages for the last month was 74.875.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Buyers'_guides">Buyers' guides</h2></div>

<p>John Pallatto, a writer for <i>PCWeek</i> in its first year, produced a full buyer's guide on all DOS-compatible PCs on the market.<sup id="cite_ref-:4_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:4-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Early promotional publications from <i>PCWeek</i> show them describing their key audience as "volume buyers", that is, people and companies that would buy PCs in bulk for business purposes. With this the magazine was able to show big computer companies that advertising in an issue of <i>PCWeek</i> was the best possible way to get their product seen by the biggest and most important buyers.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Later_success">Later success</h2></div>

<p><i>PCWeek</i> grew. Scot Peterson became eWeek's main editor in 2005, having been, a Ziff-Davis employee

since 1995, and previously held the title news editor.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>People involved in between <i>PCWeek's</i> initial success and change to <i>eWeek</i> were David Strom, Sam Whitmore, Mike Edelhart, <a href="Gina_Smith_(author)" class="mw-redirect" title="Gina Smith (author)">Gina Smith</a>, Peter Coffee, Paul Bonner, current editor Chris Preimesberger and many others.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p><a href="Jim_Louderback" title="Jim Louderback">Jim Louderback</a>, a lab director at <i>PCWeek</i> as of 1991, describes how they were able to "get a product in on Wednesday, review it, and have it on the front page on Monday" and that "that was something we were the first to do".<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 2012, <i>eWeek</i> and other Ziff Davis assets were acquired by the company <a href="QuinStreet" title="QuinStreet">QuinStreet</a>, which also runs other tech-oriented publications.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Evolution">Evolution</h2></div>

<p>As the whole PC Industry evolved, <i>PCWeek</i> grew, and also developed a very active audience that spoke of their experiences, good and bad.

Successor <i>eWeek</i> is even more oriented towards "Lab-based product evaluation,"<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and covers a wide range tech topics.<sup id="cite_ref-prn_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-prn-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Writers">Writers</h3></div>

<p>Among former/current writers are:

</p>

<ul><li>Jessica Davis<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>

<li>Scott Ferguson, former Editor in Chief of eWeek, 2006 - 2012 (when eWeek stopped their print edition "and eWeek became an all-digital publication").<sup id="cite_ref-P2012_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-P2012-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>

<li>Todd Weiss, Senior Writer ("all things mobile")<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Influence">Influence</h2></div>

<p>A famous part of <i>PCWeek</i> was the fictional gossip columnist by the name of "Spencer F. Katt". The column would cover all sorts of rumors and gossip about the PC Industry, and the character of Spencer F. Katt became a famous icon of the entire world of computing.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p><i>PCWeek</i> had influence on the PC Industry that it covered and the success of business PCs contributed to the success of <i>PCWeek</i>. John Pallatto characterizes the rise of PCs in 1985 as a "social phenomenon", and says that "the most sought-after status symbol on Wall Street in 1985... was the key to unlock the power switch on an IBM PC AT".

</p><p><i>PCWeek</i> was licensed in other countries, notably Australia, where it was first published by <i>Australian Consolidated Press</i>. Towards the end of the 1990s, the title shifted to a publishing partnership between Ziff-Davis and Australian Provincial Newspapers where its final Australian editor was Paul Zucker.

</p><p>One story from <i>PCWeek</i> that is well known is their coverage of "the famous 1994 flaw in the numerical processor in Intel's Pentium chip". The news they broke on Intel's processor, along with other research, caused Intel to actually pull back and fix their chips before offering new ones.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Former editor in chief Chris Preimesberger, who joined eWEEK in 2005 as a free-lancer, now runs a staff consisting of mostly free-lancers, many of whom have worked full time for eWEEK in the past and at other IT publications. The readership has been loyal through the years and now consists mostly of veteran IT professionals, company executives, software developers, investors and other people interested in the ebb and flow of the IT business and trends in products and services.

</p><p>James Maguire was editor in chief for a few years until 2024. He remains as senior editor and media personality. Chris Bernard is currently the managing editor for the site and all of its staff and freelance writers and editors. He was previously the managing editor of both Datamation and Enterprise Storage Forum.

The latter, after over 2 decades, began a fellowship to train future reporters.<sup id="cite_ref-SamW_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SamW-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
