[UPDATE: A very good summary of Transcon's entry into and exit from, the world of IT publishing, is provided on Mastheadonline (sub req'd).]

IT World Canada, a division of technology publishing giant International Data Group (IDG), has announced that is has acquired all the assets of Transcontinental Media's information technology division.

The Transcon titles moving under the IT World banner are Computing Canada, Communications and Networking, Computer Dealer News, Direction Informatique, Technology in Government, Edge, Guide d'Acheteur and Québec Vert, plus the related internet portal itbusiness.ca.
