Reed Business Information Goes on Sales Block

Variety (owned by Reed Business Information) is reporting that Reed Elsevier is selling Reed Business, a publisher/producer of hundreds of properties, with the US list, as the link will show, being extensive by itself. If you write for trades, here are some topic categories that let you see some of the breadth:

• building & construction


• electronics


• gifts & furnishings


• hospitality


• manufacturing


• supply chain


• media


• entertainment


• publishing


• television


• printing

This is a huge deal and will affect many writers who work for trade publications.
