Congratulations to Rafat Ali for a nice exit. Rafat started paidContent.org six years ago, and has kept a consistent watch on the goings on across digital media. Today, Rafat writes about the sale to Guardian News & Media, the news media division of UK-based Guardian Media Group.Kara Swisher today is reporting that paidContent was purchased for north of $30 million, which includes an earnout.
As part of the acquisition, paidContent, which is owned by ContentNext, will be part of Guardian Professional group, the B2B media division for GNM.
