Guwahati, August 11 (MExN): Itanagar based S&G Printing & Publishing House is all set to make its North East debut by acquiring the region’s popular Eclectic Northeast magazine, including online properties and related assets and brands of Eclectic Publications. “Going Pan Northeast is a logical extension for the organization. Our vision is not to limit ourselves to Arunachal Pradesh per se but to reach out to the entire NER. Through the eNe we look forward to bridge the expanse of space and communities and help shape public opinion while enabling the rest of the country to get a glimpse of the unique and vibrant Northeast,” said Proprietor S&G Printing & Publishing House, Jarpum Gamlin, who is also the Publisher and Founding Editor of Itanagar based English daily, Eastern Sentinel. Gamlin in a joint press release from the two publishing houses further asserted that the change of guard would pass on the legacy of Eclectic Northeast and infuse renewed vigour to its existence. “This acquisition will not change our commitment to eNe readers and advertisers,” he stated, seeking the support and confidence of all stakeholders as the publication embarks on a new chapter. Managing Director, Eclectic Publications, Tanushree Hazarika, meanwhile said, “The way forward for media to grow in this saturated space is to find mutual synergies, partners, or through acquisitions. The path chosen to acquire Eclectic Publications was based on mutual trust, understanding and shared vision for Northeast India. We believe this will help our voice heard louder at the national level.”
