Cleveland publisher acquires Lake Erie Living

Great Lakes Publishing of Cleveland, Ohio has acquired the quarterly Lake Erie Living and the bimonthly Over the Back Fence magazines from LongPoint Media of Brunswick, Ohio.

According to a post on Folio:, Great Lakes -- which publishes a range of magazines, including Inside Business, Cincy, Long Weekends, as well as Ohio magazine -- will continue to publish Lake Erie Living seasonally (March, May, July and September). Over the Back Fence will be shipped as a "complement" of Ohio magazine. Terms were not disclosed.

“Lake Erie Living has enormous potential,” said Lute Harmon Jr., president of Great Lakes. “If you have a home or cottage on the lake, it’s a part of your life, and we see that it is something you're passionate about and having enormous potential for publications. We feel the same way about Over the Back Fence.”
