# CRN

> News, analysis, and channel awards for IT solution providers, MSPs, and technology vendors.

CRN publishes editorial news plus annual awards and rankings (Channel Chiefs, Women of the Channel, Partner Program Guide, SP 500, and related lists). Winner profile pages use query URLs (`?c={Pkey}`) on `*-details` pages and load structured rows from public spreadsheet JSON under `/data-source/`.
