Publishers Weekly, a Reed Business magazine, says it has been acquired by PWxyz, a newly formed company headed by former
PW publisher George Slowik. The deal includes the Web site
publishersweekly.com and Publishers Weekly Show Daily. The new company will retain all the trade pub's editorial, art, and advertising employees and retain its New York City home. Cevin Bryerman will
stay as publisher with Jim Milliot and Michael Coffey serving as co-editors. Slowik ran
PW in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
