America's Leading Business Magazine for Entrepreneurs and Private Companies to Publish Periodical With Turkish Partner Maya Media

New York (December 1, 2008) - Inc. magazine announced today its partnership with Maya Media to publish a Turkish edition of Inc., the preeminent guidebook for entrepreneurs. "Turkey has a dynamic and growing entrepreneurial community, and Inc. is excited to be a part of it," said John Koten, CEO and editor in chief of Mansueto Ventures. "Our partnership with Maya Media will help us expand our efforts to support entrepreneurship as a powerful force for positive change in the world."

Inc. Turkey will launch with a staff of writers and editors based in Istanbul. The magazine will carry equal portions of content produced by the local team and translated stories from the U.S. edition of Inc. The first issue of the Turkish edition of Inc. will hit newsstands this month.
