Computer Magazines

Article Abstract:

Bartlett R. Rhoades, publisher of PC World and MacWorld, believes that the computer magazines that fail are those whose machines failed, who are undercapitalized or undermanaged. In 1983, fifty-five computer magazines were created. In 1984 a similar number failed, while thirty-five more were starting up. PC World has a circulation rate base of 250,000 and MacWorld 150,000. A photograph of Rhoades is included.
