School Road acquires North & South magazine

AUCKLAND, Friday: BusinessDesk’s Daniel Dunkley reports that North & South magazine has been sold to School Road Publishing, the title’s second sale since the collapse of Bauer New Zealand in 2020.

Dunkley writes: “School Road, part of the Waitapu Group, a media collective owned by advertising industry veteran Greg Partington, completed a deal for the current affairs title on Thursday night, according to market sources.

“The consumer magazine group acquired North & South from Konstantin Richter and Verena Friederike Hasel, German writers who rescued the business from the ashes of Bauer three years ago.”
