 |
Red Herring Communications swims through the murky waters of the technology industry to fish out and analyze important trends. The company publishes "Red Herring," a 315,000-circulation monthly magazine focusing on technology issues, trends, and companies. It also provides news and analysis through its Red Herring Online Web site, which has a separate editorial staff and boasts more than 10 million page views per month. In addition, the company sponsors industry conferences such as Venture Market (business presentations) and NDA (summits on the future of technology) and distributes the "Catch of the Day" newsletter. Investors include ZDNet and Broadview Capital Partners. As the market for content about the New Economy cools, Red Herring laid off about 20% of its staff and announced it is looking to sell all or part of the company.
