Report: Bonnier Acquires Five Hachette Titles

American Photo and Popular Photography are being sold to a new owner, a source with knowledge of the deal tells PDN.

According to the source, magazine staff were told today that Bonnier Corporation is acquiring five magazines from Hachette Filipacchi Media: American Photo, Popular Photography, Boating, Flying and Sound & Vision. 

In March, Hachette was reported to be shopping the five magazines. Bonnier was considered a likely buyer.
