Waitapu Group’s School Road Publishing has purchased the iconic magazine title North & South.
School Road Publishing officially takes over the printing of the June issue and content development from the July issue. Konstantin Richter, who purchased the title when Bauer Media closed in 2020, was looking for a locally owned publishing house that not only recognised the legacy of the publication but would have the vision to take the brand to its next era of growth and success.
“In the summer of 2020, my wife and I agreed to take on North & South” says Konstantin Richter, “We had incredibly talented people working for the magazine and we are proud of what we did over the past two-and-a-half years. But increasingly we felt it was time to move on. We’re happy that this iconic magazine, North & South, is now in the hands of a New Zealand publisher with an extensive network and the commercial acumen to take it to the next level.”
School Road Publishing is delighted to take the reins of this well respected heritage title. With access to the Waitapu Group’s resources through School Road, North & South will be well positioned to grow the subscriber base, reach new audiences and build the brand’s digital and multi-media presence.
