History

ComputerScope was first published in 1984 [1] by the Scope Communications Group. It was then published by MediaTeam Ltd, [2] which was formed when CPG and Scope Communications merged in 2005. [3] The magazine was edited by Paul Hearns. [4] It was renamed as TechPro magazine in 2014. [5]

Description

ComputerScope was a monthly end-user Information and Communications Technology magazine targeting IT professionals in the public and private sectors in Ireland. It was distributed as a request-only, controlled circulation publication; readers must qualify to receive a free subscription. Those who did not meet the criteria to receive free copies could obtain a paid subscription..

ComputerScope was audited by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (UK); [6] the website claimed to have 10,000 readers. [7] The magazine and its sister title Irish Computer were both replaced by TechCentral.ie. [8]

MediaTeam also published three other ICT titles: Irish Computer, [9] Smart Company, [10] and PCLive!, [11] plus Shelflife [12] and The Irish Garden. [13] MediaTeam is a member of the Periodical Publishers Association of Ireland. [14]
