Hannah News Service buys Indiana Legislative Insight, sister publications

From IBJ

Columbus-based Hannah News Service‐Midwest has acquired INGroup, the publisher of influential newsletters Indiana Legislative Insight, Indiana Gaming Insight and Indiana Education Insight, the companies announced Tuesday.

Terms of the agreement, which begins Jan. 1, were not disclosed.

INGroup moves under the Hannah umbrella as the flagship newsletter, Indiana Legislative Insight, enters its 30th year of publication.

INGroup began publishing Indiana Gaming Insight in 1993—four years after it started publishing Indiana Legislative Insight. The company began publishing Indiana Education Insight in 1997.

With a combined 40-plus years of covering Indiana state politics and government, INGroup’s Ed Feigenbaum and Adam VanOsdol will continue to serve as publisher and senior editor, respectively. Feigenbaum and VanOsdol are INGroup’s only two employees.

Feigenbaum, who founded INGroup, has committed to serving as publisher of the newsletters for at least five more years.

“I’m not looking for an exit strategy in five years,” Feigenbaum, 59, told IBJ. “I’m looking at a very-long term situation here. I want to cement my ability to contribute.”

Feigenbaum said Hannah News Service contacted him to gauge his interest in selling his company earlier this year. After discussing the proposition with Hannah officials, he said the allure of operating within a bigger company with more resources was too great to pass up.
