Award-winning Editor-in-Chief Harry McCracken of PC World resigned Tuesday over disagreements with the magazine’s publisher regarding stories critical of advertisers, according to sources.

He declined to comment on the nature of the disagreements but sources say it was because he was pressured to avoid stories that were critical of major advertisers.

“I spent 12 years at PC World; it’s been incredibly good to me,” McCracken said. He said he will still have some sort of writing relationship with the organization.

I’m sure there is more to this story, and if anything else comes to light I will post it here.
