What to know about communication and media business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating communication and media business acquisitions.
Confirm who owns the content, archives, and IP
Rights to the masthead, archives, footage, and recurring formats are the real assets; verify ownership and that licenses and talent releases transfer.
Quantify advertiser and client concentration
A handful of advertisers or one anchor client can carry and sink the business. Understand what happens if the largest leave.
Look honestly at the digital transition
Web traffic, email lists, and digital revenue show whether there's a future beyond the legacy format; an owned audience beats print circulation alone.
Identify talent and relationship dependence
Editors, producers, and salespeople often carry the advertisers and audience. Know who holds those relationships and retention after close.
Pressure-test fixed costs and obligations
Presses, studios, leases, and freelance or union commitments lock in cost. Understand what you can flex.
