CIO magazine publishes last print edition

CIO magazine is publishing its last print edition, writes editor in chief Maryfran Johnson.

Johnson writes, “We’ve known for a long time that the light in CIO magazine’s tunnel wasn’t sunshine. Media companies have been aggressively driving the digital train for the past decade, welcoming on board the advertisers that once fueled the robustly profitable business model for print magazines. The good news is that CIO’s brand is thriving in all the right markets: IT leadership events, online at our award-winning CIO.com site and in our custom publishing business.

“Bringing IT leaders to the forefront of the business landscape has been our core mission since CIO’s first issue in September 1987. We’ve chronicled your career journeys. We’ve tracked your C-suite successes and failures. We’ve advocated for your expanding role in shaping business strategy. We are forever grateful that so many of you shared your stories with us over the years. But ultimately, your greatest source of knowledge, strength and wisdom is each other.

“So be sure to stay active in your CIO and IT leadership communities. Attend as many CIO events as you can (especially ours, which in my biased view are the best on the market). On CIO.com, follow Senior Writer Clint Boulton‘s stories.”
