Instinct magazine, the nine-year-old gay men's
lifestyle title, has purchased the eight-year-old quarterly
Gay Travel News, the company announced Wednesday.
The purchase price paid to GTN's owner and
founder, the LGBT marketing firm Community Marketing
Inc., was not made public.
“It’s a perfect addition to the award-winning
content our readers enjoy every month,” said
the magazine's founder and publisher, J.R. Pratts, in
a press release. "Instinct’s fans—as we
like to call our readers—are the types that like to
get away, and do it as often as they can."
The combination
of titles puts Instinct in direct competition
with LPI Media, a division of PlanetOut Inc., which
publishes The Out Traveler as a quarterly
supplement to The Advocate and Out magazines,
the best-selling titles in the LGBT magazine market.
Instinct is the second best-selling gay men's
lifestyle magazine after Out.
Gay Travel News, described as a "quarterly
consumer newsletter" in the press release, will be
relaunched in conjunction with Instinct’s
October travel Issue.
