Gay titles one80news and 3SIXTY under new ownership
National gay lifestyle magazine 3SIXTY and newspaper one80news are to relaunch under new ownership, it emerged today.
The titles have been bought by theĀ titles’ currentĀ sales manager Graeme Austin and his partner Tony Vassallo.
“3SIXTY and one80news are both great titles and have really cemented themselves into the market place in the last two years,” said Mr Austin, the new publisher.
“Theyāve expanded their geographical reach and readership enormously and weāre really excited about building on this further.”
The outgoing publishers, David Harvey and David Tuck, bought 3SIXTY in 2004 and launched one80news, which is available in London and Brighton, in 2007.
“Itās been a great run but we both feel the time is right to move on to pastures new,” saidĀ MrĀ Tuck.
“Tony and Graeme will do a fantastic job of maintaining the standards that the readers expect.”
Torsten HĆøjer stays on as editor of 3SIXTY and Niall McMurrayĀ will continue as editor ofĀ one80news.
