InfoWorld used to be a weekly newsmagazine for the computer industry. One year after ditching print, InfoWorld is turning a 37 percent profit margin with ad revenue running at $1.6 million a month.

Caveats: Niche market, audience focused solidly on WWW. (That latter is similar to the younger readers who don't bother picking up a newspaper.)

Stewart Alsop, a journalist turned venture capitalist, was the editor in chief of InfoWorld in the 1990s, when it was thick with ads and its editorial staff was at its peak. “Technology publishing just happens to be at the point of this whole transformation of media,” Mr. Alsop said. “What’s happening at I.D.G. is a fairly accurate map for every other publishing organization. Get over it, it’s going to happen.”
