BusinessWeek Company Description
With an audience of nearly five million, BusinessWeek is one of the most widely read business magazines in the world. The company operates under the goal of publishing the essential publication for business executives, its core audience. In addition to the global BusinessWeek publication, the company publishes more than a half dozen local-language versions in Arabic, Chinese, Russian, and numerous other languages. BusinessWeek was launched in 1929; McGraw-Hill has owned the publication for 80 years. A weakening economy and online competition has taken its toll on the magazine business, and BusinessWeek is up for sale. Financial information provider Bloomberg has announced plans to acquire the company.
