Who is Information Week for?

Information Week is a magazine that applies to everyone that cares about technology. It has just the right amount of information to keep the average reader interested in it, but at the same time it provides points that are valuable to people actually using these technologies in the work-place. There is a lot that I can attest to learning from the magazine, and I think that it does provide some in-sight that can be beneficial to even novice computer users.

The magazine is well laid out, always has attractive covers, and has articles that are quite good as well. That is why I give this magazine a high recommendation and urge anyone that qualifies to receive this magazine for free to do just that.

For more information on the magazine, or on subscribing to it, take a look at http://www.informationweek.com.

Layout of the Magazine

The magazine itself is split up into a few main sections that give a good fluidity with the reader. It always starts with a section called “up front”, which are quick notes from the Editor and letters that have been sent in to the Editor. It is a personal statement from the Editor and usually revolves around some experience they have had during the week.

It continues with “Top of The Week”, which are what they deem to be 4 or 5 of the top stories coming from the past week. In this given issue, the topics were: Data Difficulties, RFID, Retail ROI, Outsourcing, and News Scans at Microsoft. Each article goes in-depth on the story it is professing, and lends a lot of information to the reader. Following those stories comes the cover story, where story revolves around something important in the Tech. world, and is always entertaining and informational.

The magazine then continues on with smaller stories that can involve software tools, business processes, infrastructures, and data points that they find important to the readers of the magazine. Each section gives a lot of information that I do not find anywhere else.

What is Information Week Magazine?

Information Week is a business innovations trade, which talks about what is up-and-coming in the technology world. This can range from anything involving computers up to “global-supply” management. Pretty much anything that revolves around technology can show up in the magazine, and it seems to find someone interested in each topic.

Information Week is a great magazine that contains information and knowledge that anyone can use, with plenty of useful information and great articles.

Information Week is a magazine that is published weekly, and can be subscribed to at no charge to the customer. Working in a technology based industry makes the magazine very useful, and it typically arrives on a Thursday, and there are 52 issues that come out per year. It claims to run at a cost of $4.95 in the United States, and $5.95 per issue in Canada, but if it is ordered for “business” use, it is a free subscription.
