Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S., Inc. (HFM U.S.), originally known as CBS Publications, was a subsidiary of Hachette Filipacchi Médias (one of the world's largest magazine publishers), and was based in New York City.

History

It was formed in 1972 as CBS Publications.[1] CBS expanded its magazine group by acquiring Fawcett Publications in 1977,[2] and the majority of the Ziff Davis magazines in 1984.[3] CBS Publications in 1982 sold Fawcett Publications to Ballantine Books while Popular Library was sold to Warner Communications.[2]

Executive Peter Diamandis acquired the division in 1987.[1] Hachette purchased Diamandis Communications in 1988.[4]

In May 2009, the company sold American Photo, Flying, Boating, Sound & Vision, and Popular Photography to the Bonnier Group.[5]

Hearst Magazines acquired Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. magazines along with most of Hachette Filipacchi's international magazines in May 2011.[6]
