Sports Illustrated Secures New Publisher, Minute Media, to Continue Legacy

The iconic sports magazine finds a lifeline with Minute Media, promising to uphold its print and digital presence.

Sports Illustrated has entered a 10-year publishing deal with Minute Media, with the option to extend for up to 30 years.
Minute Media plans to continue Sports Illustrated's print edition and rehire some staff laid off by the previous publisher.
Authentic Brands Group, the owner of Sports Illustrated, will acquire an equity stake in Minute Media.
The deal comes after the previous publisher, The Arena Group, faced financial issues and laid off the entire unionized workforce.
Minute Media aims to expand Sports Illustrated's global publication operations and maintain its reputation for in-depth sports journalism.
