Surprise, Surprise, PC World magazine's new CEO killed an article that was critical of an advertiser:
Colleagues at my former outlet, PC World magazine, have told me that Editor-in-Chief Harry McCracken quit abruptly today because the company's new CEO, Colin Crawford, tried to kill a story about Apple and Steve Jobs.
Fully story available at Wired Magazine
Of course, this makes me wonder... did anyone actually read PC World for the reviews? I've subscribing to it on and off (as my free subscriptions to it ebb and flow), for years... and 90% of the reviews just leave me wondering about the product they reviewed. Digital camera with 4/5 stars, but how many megapixels does it have? How about optical zoom? Lens range?
Half the time the actual pc systems they review don't mention the CPU or the amount of RAM. So I'm not sure how much the EiC leaving will affect the magazine. I'll update this space if there's any breaking news on this story. </sarcasm>
