Imaginova Network Acquires Newsarama

Posted on October 10, 2007

The Imaginova Network, the publishers of LiveScience.com and Space.com, have acquired Newsarama, a leading comics news website. The acquisition looks like a good mix with Imaginova's other sites.

Newsarama says in the press release that it will "serve as Imaginova's eyes and ears in the world of genre entertainment." Newsarama says, "We will continue to provide and improve upon our market-leading coverage of the comic book industry. Everything you've come to know and expect from Newsarama is going to get better."

The press release says that Newsarama Senior Editors Michael Doran and Matt Brady will join the staff of Imaginova's editorial team and will continue to oversee the day-to-day operations of the site.

Doran and Brady also say, "Starting now, however, we'll be armed with the resources to begin phasing in additional content and introducing new media to improve site design, functionality, and dependability, and ultimately to expand our brand of coverage to other entertainment genres you're all already interested in."

The amount Imaginova paid to acquire Newsarama was not disclosed.
