EWeek
American technology magazine
eWeek (Enterprise Newsweekly, stylized as eWEEK), formerly PCWeek, is a technology and business magazine. It was owned by Ziff Davis until 2012, then by QuinStreet, then in 2020 it was sold again to TechnologyAdvice, a Nashville, Tennessee marketing company.
The print edition ceased in 2012, "and eWeek became an all-digital publication"), at which time Quinstreet acquired the magazine from Internet company Ziff Davis, along with Baseline.com, ChannelInsider.com, CIOInsight.com, and WebBuyersGuide.com.
eWeek was started under the name PCWeek on Feb. 28, 1984. The magazine was called PCWeek until 2000, during which time it covered the rise of business computing in America; as eWeek, it increased its online presence and covers more kinds of worldwide technologies.
History
The magazine was started by Ziff Davis to cover the use of computers as business tools.
Team members that started PCWeek 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.
At the time, many magazines at the time already covered business computing, such as Datamation and Computerworld. There were also magazines dedicated to hobbyist machines, so it seemed there was no place for a weekly issue to fit in.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “EWeek” as american technology magazine. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as american technology magazine. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4037850. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2020, 1984 and 2000.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
