Change for the better
Pit & Quarry has been around for a long time—nearly 100 years. Just before I first started on the magazine in early 1988, the parent company was Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich (HBJ). Beginning soon after, as is often the case in the world of business-to-business publishing, ownership changed hands on a regular basis. We went from HBJ, to Edgell Communications, to Advanstar Communications, to Questex Media Group, and now, as of yesterday, to North Coast Media. This latest change is an exciting one, because we are now part of a new, smaller, more-focused business that will enable us to make changes more quickly and further invest in our offerings. Over time, you’ll see the changes in the form of a redesigned magazine, redesigned website and more digital offerings. Stay tuned.
