Biz News: Editor & Publisher, a Fountain Valley-based trade magazine, is now in the hands of a new owner
Fountain Valley-based trade magazine Editor & Publisher has been sold to media consultant Mike Blinder and a newly formed company, the Curated Experiences Group, according to a news release.
E&P, which covers the newspaper industry and dates to 1884, had been owned by Duncan McIntosh Co. Inc., which also produces the Newport Boat Show and owns the OC Weekly.
Terms of the transaction, which closed on Aug. 30, were not disclosed.
“With all our media holdings at DMC, I am particularly proud of E&P with its 135-year-old heritage as the voice of the news publishing industry,” McIntosh said in a statement. “I pass along the legacy of this great publication into the hands of a man I am confident understands E&P’s importance. Mike is a man of boundless energy and ideas, so I feel good that passing the baton to him will inject vibrancy into E&P to continue its mission as the authoritative voice of news publishing.”
E&P reported that Blinder wants the magazine “to continue being the go-to resource for publishers when it comes to implementing successful sales and business strategies ... while delving into deeper issues regarding news publishing, including freedom of the press and the power of local journalism.”
