Something Missing?

A rising force in the publishing industry, Petersen Publishing Company publishes a host of monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, and annual magazines that each focus on special-interest subjects. In a half-century of business, Petersen Publishing established a lasting, viable position in the publishing industry by publishing titles such as Hot Rod, Guns & Ammo, Teen, and Dirt Rider. In 1996, the company fell under new ownership when its founder, Robert Petersen, retired. The new owners were intent on greatly increasing the company's size, resolving to develop Petersen Publishing into a $1 billion, special-interest, publishing conglomerate. During the late 1990s, the company published roughly 80 different magazines and generated approximately $250 million in revenues from offices in New York and Los Angeles.
