| EMMIS entered the world of publishing in 1988, with the purchase of hometown Indianapolis Monthly, and over the following 12 years, the company grew to become the country's leading publisher of city and regional magazines. Building on the expertise of the management team at Indianapolis Monthly, EMMIS acquired Atlanta, Texas Monthly and Cincinnati, and in early 2000 entered into an agreement to purchase Los Angeles magazine. The company also owns Country Sampler, a leading crafts publication. |
