Today Media Expands Portfolio with Purchase of Bethesda Magazine

In an expansion of its media portfolio, BCW Member Today Media has acquired Bethesda Magazine and the news site MoCo360 from Z-Pop Media. Today Media is a leading publisher of regional lifestyle magazines, business publications and websites across multiple markets including Westchester Magazine and 914INC.

Rob Martinelli, CEO of Today Media, said Bethesda Magazine and MoCo360 are “a great fit” for his company, which publishes in four similar east coast markets, including Westchester County and the Hudson Valley in New York, suburban Philadelphia and all of Delaware. “I’ve always been impressed with Bethesda Magazine and the MoCo360 news site,” he said. 

Martinelli said MoCo360 was a big draw for Today Media. “I’ve seen how important the site is to the community,” he said. “We’re excited to continue the critical role of providing local news coverage in the Bethesda area.”

Founded in 2004 and published six times a year, Bethesda Magazine covers the lives and lifestyles of residents in Montgomery County and Upper Northwest Washington, D.C. MoCo360, launched in 2014 as Bethesda Beat, is an online news site covering breaking news in Montgomery County.
