Posted on June 23, 1998

IDG.net announced the launch of its newest daily newsletter, The IT Informer. The daily email publication offers IT commentary, interviews, special reports, research, and book reviews, through the work journalists and columnists from computer industry publications, including Computerworld, Infoworld, PC World, Network World, CIO and IDC.

The first week's issues featured commentary from Robert Cringely and Mark Gibbs. An InfoWorld interview with Cabletron CEO Craig Benson, a research brief on India's IT market from IDC, and a Windows 98 performance preview from the PC World Test Center were also published.

"The IT Informer will be a 'must-read' for IT managers, technology marketers and executives, as well as computer industry analysts," said Mark Cappel, editor-in-chief of the IDG.net site. "Commentary and analysis from industry luminaries like Bob Metcalfe, InfoWorld columnist and IDG vice president of technology; Frank Gens and John Gantz of IDC; and columnists David Moschella and Nick Petreley, guarantee that The Informer will be nothing short of thought provoking. The unparalleled journalistic capabilities of IDG's publications ensure a steady stream of top-notch interviews as well. The 'Informed' will definitely have their fingers on the pulse of technology industry thinking."
