The Magazine for teens and pre-teens has been sold to Kairos Transmedia

The Magazine, a magazine and custom publisher focussed on the teen and pre-teen audience, has been purchased by Kairos Transmedia. No price or terms were revealed in a release.

Established in 2000, The Magazine publishes 8 regular issues a year.

"We are very excited with this acquisition," said Becky Brown, The Magazine's newly appointed executive vice president. "We're looking forward to establishing a solid presence in the United States as well as continuing to pursue our on-line properties in working closely with Kairos' other media interests. Our specialty publication sector is one of the fastest growing and most progressive spaces and thanks to Kairos' acute understanding and demonstrated expertise regarding growing businesses - our future has never been brighter."

Toronto-based Kairos is involved in publishing, custom and online publishing and television and film development through its Spillwall Productions division. It also offers media literacy classes for children through thedirectorscut.ca.
