History
Wired rose to prominence during the "dot-com boom" amid fierce competition from a number of internet news sources. But unlike most of its competitors, Wired survived the "dot-com crash" and has won several publishing awards. In 1998, Wired was purchased by Advance Publications and assigned to subsidiary Conde Nast Publications.
