CRN is an American computer publication. It was first launched as Computer Retail Week on June 7, 1982, as a magazine targeted to computer resellers. It soon after was renamed Computer Reseller News.

History and profile

Originally launched in 1982 and published by CMP Media of Manhasset, New York, United States, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Australian CRN is published by nextmedia, the UK version of CRN was published by Incisive Media for some years after it acquired VNU Business Publications UK in 2007 and the U.S. version is published by The Channel Company which acquired UBM Channel under management buyout from UBM in 2013.

The headquarters of the magazine is in Westborough, Massachusetts. In 2009 ''CRN'''s U.S. version was recognized as a leading advertising medium for the IT industry by B2B's Media Power 50 ranking, which called it the "unrivaled leader in covering the channel".

In January 2012, the UK version of CRN launched the CRN Sales and Marketing Awards. These awards recognise and reward the achievements of high-achieving information and communications technology companies.

In April 2022, The Channel Company acquired CRN UK, Computing, and Channel Partner Insight from Incisive Media. This deal reunited the UK and US edition of CRN under common ownership.
