Rafat Ali of PaidContent.org reports that two private equity firms are teaming up to buy the parent company of Entrepreneur magazine.
“We reported first on the sale process in April, and since then, the strategics, including Dow Jones (NYSE: NWS), USA Today and R. H. Donnelly have been weeded out in the bidding. This deal for Entrepreneur comes at a good time, with some turmoil in the company ranks during recent months. I mentioned some of the issues and controversies in the previous post. The company in recent months has seen some senior editorial and executive staff leave: just yesterday Folio reported that after the editor’s departure, the two exec editors have also left. It appointed a new EIC two days ago.
“The company was founded as a newsletter in 1973 and launched as Entrepreneur magazine in 1977. It also has a biggish online presence and operates book publishing unit Entrepreneur Press. Entrepreneur.com was launched in 1996, and has been popular and very profitable, a big part of the appeal to the buyers, our sources say.”
