CMP Technology, a trade publisher whose titles include InformationWeek, said Wednesday that it would cut 200 jobs, fold some of its titles, and publish some of its other publications less often, according to a Newsday story by James Bernstein.

InformationWeekBernstein wrote, “CMP said Information Week, its flagship publication, will now integrate two other publications – Network Computing and Optimize – creating ‘one brand.’

“CMP said Information Week will remain ‘the primary news and business technology research tool for IT [information technology] decision makers.’

“The company said InformationWeek.com has experienced a 40 percent increase in traffic this year and will launch additional services, including blogs, video services, Webcasts and virtual communities.

“The company also said another publication, CRN, will be published twice a month, down from three times a month; VARBusiness, which has been a biweekly publication, will be produced on a monthly basis.”
