Eleven Newcom b2b mags join Magazines Canada

Magazines Canada has welcomed 13 new business media titles into its membership, including notably 11 titles from Toronto-based Newcom Business Media. This brings to 85 the number of business media titles in the association, about one-quarter of the association's membership.

Newcom Business Media is a privately-owned company that has been one of the mainstays of the Canadian Business Press (now Canadian Business Media). Its movement to join Magazines Canada and recent other moves (Annex Business Media, for instance) has significantly strengthened its B2B division. The 11 Newcom titles joining are:

• Canadian Shipper
• Canadian Underwriter
• CARS (Canadian Auto Repair and Service)
• Jobber News Magazine
• L'automobile
• Meetings + Incentive Travel
• MM&D
• Oral Health
• Today's Trucking
• Transport Routier
• Truck News

In addition, two other magazines were welcomed by the board at its September meeting: Landscape Trades and Rural Delivery (the latter, based in Liverpool, Nova Scotia,  could be said to have re-joined, since it was a member a number of years ago.)
