PCkurier

PCkurier - a bi-weekly computer publishing house published by Lupus for 14 years, whose first issue appeared in mid-December 1989. History

Written by Tadeusz Wilczek (hence the name Lupus, from the wolf), Grzegorz Eider and Tomasz Zieliński. It filled the gap in the computer magazine market created after the suspension of the computer magazine published in the second half of the 80s by RSW "Press-Book-Ruch."

During this period, the entire staff of PCkuriera editorial staff - founders, employees and co-workers - created computer-related people. (The rights to the Computer title were later redeemed by IDG Poland S.A., also based on former employees and computer collaborators - the result of which is the PC World Computer, which goes out today.)

The first issue, published in 1500 copies and 16 pages, quickly grew in size and quantity, becoming the most important source of current information about the computer market in Poland at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. At its peak, in the first half of the 1990s, it exceeded 250 pages and 100,000 copies. copies. This was supported by the growing advertising market, which has led to a steady increase in the number of editorial pages.

Grzegorz Eider was the first editor-in-chief, then Tomasz Zieliński, Zbigniew Blowwoński, Marek Zimnak, Tadeusz Wilczek and Anna Kniaź were responsible.

In 1996, there was a division of tasks between magazines issued by Lupus. The market was "split" between the monthly Enter (individual user), PCkurier (corporate market) and CRN (dealer market). This breakdown, logically from the market point of view, led to an immediate collapse of the volume and volume of sales of the PCCurier, and then their further successive diminishing, which was a further cause of the collapse on the advertising market - at the turn of the decade the letter was already below 10 thousand. copies. After the acquisition of Lupus by the competitive Vogel Publishing (publisher of CHIP), the PCKurier was closed in mid-2003 and the editorial dissolved.
