“The move marks Sabey’s first major foray into Seattle-area journalism.”
“‘He is very bullish on the future of this region,’ Kneeland said. ‘He’s looking at it as an opportunity to use the publication to promote the region and business opportunities.’
“Kneeland declined to give the transaction’s financial details, saying CEO Media Corp., parent company of the 28,500-circulation magazine, is privately owned.
“But Sabey has hired Bob Ritter, a former publisher of The Olympian and Gannett News Service executive, as publisher.
“Ritter said the Washington-focused magazine will pursue ‘gutsy reporting’ in technology, trade, environment, real estate, government and innovation, and will beef up its Web presence.”
