If you like to keep tabs on the world in which D operates, you’ll no doubt take interest in the recently announced merger of Jason Binn’s Niche Media, Greenspun Media Group (which publishes a bunch of magazines for a bunch of Vegas casinos), and Ocean Drive Media Group. Media columnist David Carr wrote a valentine about Binn in today’s NYT, as you can see here. Mediabistro has the official announcement of the merger here, including this tidbit:
The new entity will have a combined distribution of more than 750,000 and will provide advertisers access to the most affluent people in desirable markets across the U.S. With an average of 5.9 readers per copy, the titles reach more than 4.4 million readers.
Developing.
