Man Bites Dog…Website Buys Magazine
Man bites dog…hyperlocal Web-only alternative newspaper buys print magazine.
Going completely against the grain in the media world, the Jersey City Independent acquired four-year-old arts, culture and lifestyle magazine NEW, which publishes twice annually and also covers Jersey City, N.J.
Jersey City Independent co-founder and editor Jon Whiten has served as managing editor at NEW since 2007.
Terms of the deal, which was finalized earlier this month, were not disclosed. The first issue of NEW under its new owners will be published in April.
