PC Mag Malaysia ceases publication

Mar 27, 2007 20:59

Swan song for PC Magazine Malaysia.

PCMag-Malaysia.jpgCatcha Corp, licensed publisher for the Ziff Davis Media title, has decided to cease the Malaysian edition, and the April 2007 issue will be the last copy.

The announcement came as a surprise as PC Mag Malaysia just appointed a new editor several months ago.

In a farewell note to this blogger, PC Mag editor David Chieng said he will sign off this Friday, March 29.

The Website for the magazine--www.pcmag.com.my--has since been taken down.

The original licensee for PC Mag Malaysia was Singapore-based CR Media, which also licensed to publish the Singapore edition. Both titles commenced in 2003.

However, Catcha Corp's takeover of the Malaysian edition in 2005, via Digital Access Sdn Bhd, was at the time of a competitive market environment made more intense by readers who flocked to the online channels for IT news.

About Jeff Ooi

Jeff Ooi is an Internet and e-Business consultant based in Kuala Lumpur who's spent the last four years blogging internationally on the tech scene, on anything and nothing. Which doesn't really explain why most of his own technology is about three years out of date. He doesn't even own a PDA after his Palm V crashed. He's on 3G, though... Lemak Lemang refers to coconut-flavored sticky rice stuffed in a bamboo container.
