Ownership of The Business Monthly, the business publication covering Howard and Anne Arundel counties, has changed hands, according to the company. Daniel Medinger has purchased the publication and its digital outlets from current owners Becky Mangus and Cathy Yost. The transaction takes effect Sept. 1, 2018, according to a post on the publication’s Facebook page.

“This is a very exciting opportunity,” said Medinger, an Ellicott City resident. “We live in a very vital and dynamic business community. I look forward to telling the story of how our community works. Our business leaders and creative employees make products and services that help us at home and people around the world. [Publishing] The Business Monthly is a great opportunity to share that news in both print and digitally.”

Mangus, publisher, and Yost, the co-owner who ran business operations including advertising sales, will continue working with Medinger for several months through the transition. They purchased the newspaper from the previous owner in 2002. In 1986, Medinger was named CEO of the Cathedral Foundation, a Catholic non-profit chartered with the State of Maryland, which produced the archdiocesan newspaper, The Catholic Review, which he led as associate publisher and editor. He also managed and owned Advertising Media Plus in Columbia.
