New Wave Media Acquires Marine Technology Reporter
Hingham, Mass. & New York, NY -- New Wave Media has acquired, for an undisclosed sum,
Marine Technology Reporter (MTR), a twelve year old quarterly publication dedicated to
reporting on the marine, environmental and engineering business from Marine Marketing
Services of Hingham, Massachusetts. Marine Technology Reporter, and its twice monthly
electronic, sister-publication, www.mtronline.net,
is dedicated to keeping its global audience of readers abreast of information on the
worldwide ocean industry through feature articles, company and products news, and a
comprehensive events calendar.
The new Marine Technology Reporter – a four-color magazine printed on a coated paper
stock – is set to debut this summer. It will be edited for an international audience
of executives, scientists, engineering and technical personnel in industry, government,
and educational institutions that are actively employed and engaged in undersea defense,
oceanography, the marine sciences, offshore drilling, underwater exploration and survey,
diving and construction.
“Marine Technology Reporter is a natural fit for our comprehensive line-up of leading
marine industry publications,” said John O’Malley, president and CEO of New Wave
Media. “As has been our strategy since 1939, we will combine the finest editorial
coverage with an unrivaled circulation. We will deliver to our advertisers an exceptional
marketing opportunity, offering them advertising options with the lowest cost per thousand
in the industry, delivering their message directly to their customers: executives, program
managers, scientists, engineering and technical personnel.”
“You all know that MTR has been a labor of love on my part for the past twelve years.
MTR was founded at a time when the New England marine technology industry was coming
together as a cohesive group, resulting in the formation of the Marine and Oceanographic
Technology Network. With unwavering support from MOTN, The Marine Technology Society of
New England and our impressive and loyal advertisers, we have grown to be recognized as a
global player in the ocean market place. We successfully launched the web site and the
twice-monthly news blasts just a year ago with an impressive team of industry experts. We
increased distribution of the printed piece two years ago from 3500 to 7700 today. And we
created an email list of 4100 (and growing) individuals who receive the twice-monthly
email blasts directly to their desktops. It just made sense to join forces with New Wave
Media to bring MTR to the next level. New Wave has many years of experience in maritime
publishing and I am confident in their ability and commitment of resources to nurture MTR
to become the world class publication it deserves to be,” said Maggie Linskey
Merrill. I will look forward to assisting in what ever way necessary to facilitate a
smooth transition,” said Maggie Linskey Merrill, former editor and publisher of
Marine Technology Reporter. Merrill will serve as Editorial Consultant to New Wave Media
for the first year of operations.
