Business magazine Georgia Trend has been sold to Morris Publishing, which primarily owns newspapers, for an undisclosed amount.
Damon Cline of the Augusta Chronicle writes, “The 31-year-old Georgia Trend magazine is distributed in all 159 Georgia counties. Its affiliated products include the annual Small Business Guide, the annual Business Georgia publication, the website georgiatrend.com and the electronically delivered Georgia Trend Daily.
“Trend Publications is co-owned by Atlanta businessman Tom Cousins, of Nonami LLC and Young Publications, which is owned by Neely Young and Ben Young, who serve as Georgia Trend’s co-publishers. The Norcross, Ga.-based group has eight full-time employees and more than 30 freelance writers, photographers and graphic designers.
“Neely Young said in a statement that his family will still be involved in the publication and that Ben will remain as publisher.
“‘Tom, Ben and I are pleased to be associated with Morris, and we know they will continue our vision of building a positive sense of community throughout our great state,’ Young said. ‘This bodes well for Georgia Trend.'”
