Nextgov/FCW (launched asFederal Computer Week and later rebrandedFCW) is a news website that covers U.S. federal government technology and occasionally state, local, tribal and international governments. It is owned by GovExec.
Federal Computer Week was established in 1987 by International Data Group[1] as a weekly print magazine[2] headquartered inVienna, Virginia.[3] By 2003, it was part of FCW Media Group.[2]
Its ownership passed to California-based1105 Government Information Group, a privately held company backed by two private equity firms:Nautic Partners andAlta Communications.[4] Editor Christopher Dorobek resigned in August 2008 to accept a position atWFED.[5] In December 2008, David Rapp, formerly an executive withCongressional Quarterly, became the publication's new editor (and editorial director overseeing all 1105 GovInfo publications).[6]
In 2021, 1105 sold FCW and several sister publications to GovExec, whoseNextGov publication competed withFCW.[7] In 2023, GovExec mergedFCW andNextGov, creatingNextGov/FCW.[8][9]
