Guardian Media buys paidContent.org publisher
The Guardian News & Media has acquired ContentNext, publisher of media
and technology business blog paidContent.org, a sign of the growing
importance of such sites to traditional media companies. ContentNext's
founder and editor, Rafat Ali, and Chief Executive Nathan Richardson
would continue to run the company as a stand-alone business, said the
privately held Guardian, which publishes the Guardian and Observer
newspapers in Britain and the Guardian America website. The Guardian
paid about USD 30m (EUR 18.8m), a source familiar with the situation said.
ContentNext, which is based in Santa Monica and New York City, delivers
news and analysis to executives in the media, entertainment and
technology sectors. It was founded in 2002. It owns paidContent.org,
which covers digital content; mocoNews.net, which covers mobile content;
paidContent:UK, which focuses on the UK and Europe; and
contentSutra.com, which covers India's digital content market. (Reuters)
