The real estate developer and Indiana Pacers NBA franchise owner Herb Simon has purchased Kirkus Reviews, keeping the venerable book review source and graphic novel review publication pioneer from the chopping block due to cuts at former owner The Nielsen Company. The company will change its name to Kirkus Media, keep its print iteration and bolster its on-line offerings. Simon is a longtime Kirkus Reviews reader, and is retaining current editorial team leaders Elaine Szewczyk and Eric Liebetrau, pictured above.
