Description
=====================================

Macworld is a web site and monthly computer magazine dedicated to Apple
Macintosh products. It is published by Mac Publishing, which is
headquartered in San Francisco, California. Published since 1984, the
magazine has the largest audited circulation (both total and newsstand)
of Macintosh-focused magazines in North America, more than double its
nearest competitor, Mac|Life (formerly MacAddict). Macworld was founded
by David Bunnell (publisher) and Andrew Fluegelman (editor).

In 1997, the publication was renamed to Macworld, incorporating MacUser
(a name reflected subtly on the magazine's Table of Contents page) to
reflect the consolidation of the Ziff-Davis-owned MacUser magazine into
the International Data Group-owned Macworld within the new Mac Publishing
joint venture between the two publishers. In 1999, the combined company
also purchased the online publication MacCentral Online, because Macworld
didn't have a powerful online news component at the time. In late 2001
International Data Group (IDG) bought out Ziff-Davis' share of Mac
Publishing, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of IDG.

The magazine is published in many countries, either by other IDG
subsidiaries or by outside publishers who have licensed the brand name
and its content. These editions include Australia, Germany (Macwelt),
Italy, Spain, Sweden (MacWorld), Turkey, and the United Kingdom. Its
content is also incorporated into a number of other IDG publications.

The magazine's publisher licenses its name to another IDG subsidiary, IDG
World Expo, for the Macworld Conference & Expo, which takes place every
January at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco.

In additional to publishing a monthly print magazine, Macworld also
operates numerous web sites, including Macworld.com, Playlist,
MacUser.com, and Mac OS X Hints.
