A long chapter in media history came to an unlikely close on Sunday night with a
sale agreement for Time Inc., the publisher of once-prestigious magazine titles
including Time, Sports Illustrated and People.
The Meredith Corporation — the owner of Family Circle, Better Homes and
Gardens and AllRecipes — agreed to purchase Time Inc. in an all-cash transaction
valued at nearly $3 billion. The deal was made possible, in part, by an infusion of
$650 million from the private equity arm of Charles G. and David H. Koch, the
billionaire brothers known for using their wealth and political connections to
advance conservative causes.
People was prestigious? :D Hope the NYT is next....
