LONDON - B2B publisher Incisive Media is to close Personal Computer World Magazine with the loss of up to 12 jobs.

The company, which also publishes Computing and Accountancy Age, said the August issue of the long-standing title would be its last.

James Hanbury, managing director of Incisive Media, said there were no plans to keep the magazine alive online as Ziff Davis did in the US when it closed the print editiion of PCMag.

Hanbury said: "We are focusing brand efforts on our online properties, but not in the form of PCW.

"We didn't want to have a half-way house of closing the print but keeping the online magazine."

Hanbury said The Inquirer website would continue to cover some of the areas that PCW covered, such as product reviews.
