Manhattan Media Buys Harvard Mag 02138
Publications targeted to the reading elite haven’t had an easy time making money, but Manhattan Media, parent of several New York neighborhood publications, has bought Harvard grad-aimed lifestyle magazine 02138, with the belief that it can turn a publication aimed at the disparate community of Harvard grads into a bigger business.
Atlantic publisher Atlantic Media and the two founders of 02138 sold the magazine for an undisclosed purchase price.
Manhattan Media said it would increase the frequency of 02138 to six times a year from four in 2009 and use it as the launchpad for other magazines targeting graduates of other Ivy League schools under a new division, Ivy League Media.
The company said it also planned to launch events and social networking sites to complement the forthcoming magazines.
