Authentic Brands, which owns licensing rights to companies like Juicy Couture and celebrities like Muhammad Ali, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/sports\/2019\/06\/18\/sports-illustrateds-media-operations-are-sold-again\/\">zero experience<\/a> running a media company.<\/p>\n<p>Given their need for help, the new owner of this classic title inked a deal with Maven in Seattle to run the editorial needs of the magazine.<\/p>\n<p>Maven was founded in 2016 by James Heckman, who co-founded <a href=\"http:\/\/rivals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rivals.com<\/a>, a constellation of college recruiting websites that was acquired by Yahoo.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I received a press release from <a href=\"http:\/\/maven.io\">Maven<\/a> and <em>SI&#8217;<\/em>s leadership team. Here are a few highlights from the release, which was emailed to <em>SI<\/em> staffers last night:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sports Illustrated\u2014on any platform\u2014is not being taken over by or replaced with an army of bloggers and inexperienced local reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Maven will help extend Sports Illustrated\u2019s reach into local journalism by building a coalition of journalists to cover pro teams and major college programs with skill, tenacity and timeliness to match the best beat reporters anywhere in the industry. This is in addition to\u2014not instead of\u2014the journalism SI has always produced from a national perspective. It cannot be said enough: These are professional, credentialed, on-the-ground-journalists, not stay-at-home bloggers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>In other words, digital disruption is real, but legacy media traditions remain. For staff morale reasons, Maven wants to instill a hierarchy where star journalists are the reason to read <em>SI<\/em>. Management wants the high paid writers to believe this and to some degree they want the audience to also buy-in. However, the new owners and operators also want to make money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here&#8217;s more from the presser:<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>Evolution is always difficult, particularly when it alters career arcs and newsroom staffs. But the status quo must change, in media in general and at <a href=\"http:\/\/si.com\"><em>SI<\/em><\/a> specifically. In the past decade, more than $100 million in costs have been ripped out of the <em>SI<\/em> business, over 200 staffers were cut, and the company saw significant declines in every major business indicator over the last five years. A focus on quarterly numbers, along with corporate instability, suffocated <em>SI<\/em>\u2019s ability to grow and invest.<\/p>\n<p>Maven has a strategy to strengthen that bond and extend it to new, different and bigger audiences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"markdown\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>In other words, Maven and Authentic Brands Group are the saviors of the magazine that was once gutted by the big media company that sadly neglected it.<\/p>\n<p>If only things were as simple as they&#8217;re portrayed to be in press releases.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is consumers of sports news have more options than ever today, and some of the best options available are offered by startup media companies run by digital natives.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hailvarsity.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31363\" src=\"https:\/\/adpulp.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Monthly_Subscription_-_Print___Online_for__2_99_Month___Hail_Varsity.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1283\" height=\"937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Monthly_Subscription_-_Print___Online_for__2_99_Month___Hail_Varsity.png 1283w, https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Monthly_Subscription_-_Print___Online_for__2_99_Month___Hail_Varsity-300x219.png 300w, https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Monthly_Subscription_-_Print___Online_for__2_99_Month___Hail_Varsity-768x561.png 768w, https:\/\/www.adpulp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Monthly_Subscription_-_Print___Online_for__2_99_Month___Hail_Varsity-1024x748.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1283px) 100vw, 1283px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meredith Corporation unloaded Sports Illustrated for a mere $110 million last May.
