Investment advisors take stakes in online-only Western Standard

The Western Standard, once a print magazine, since December 2007 an online site only, has a couple of new owners. According to a message to subscribers from publisher Matthew Johnston (who apparently keeps a stake in the magazine) Stephen Johnston, investment director with Agcapita Partners and Thomas Beyer, president of Prestigious Properties, "have recently decided to bring their business expertise to the Western Standard as new major shareholders and advisors."
