Jon Fine of BusinessWeek is reporting that Joe Mansueto, who owns Inc. and Fast Company magazines, is interested in purchasing the McGraw-Hill title.
“After two years in which his magazines posted some positive indicators — especially Fast Company, which netted 20%-plus ad page gains in 2007 and 2008 — both of Mansueto’s business titles backslid considerably in 2009. For the first six months of this year, Fast Company’s ad pages dropped 33.6% to 171.3, and Inc’s fell 29.0%, to 262.4.
“Yesterday, representatives of Bruce Wasserstein met with BusinessWeek management to view more detailed data regarding the magazine’s finances.”
