"Education Channel Partner" from 1105 Media.

The 1105 Media (Chatsworth, CA) Education Group, the publisher of "T.H.E. Journal" and "Campus Technology," will begin the publication of "Education Channel Partner" magazine and a companion web site for the education sales industry, in June. The magazine and its new business unit will focus on the information needs and ongoing issues relevant to book and educational material distributors, value-added resellers and other channel professionals in the education market.

The new title will be published six times a year for a controlled circulation of 25,000, including sales managers and representatives, college bookstore and teacher store managers, resellers and distributors. The company said content for both the magazine and the web site include information on topics such as creative demand, selling technology to non-technology budgets, emerging school needs, working with ESCs, and the practical needs of sales professionals.

Publisher Jerry Rosenbusch said "the education sales community, both vendors and partners, has been hungry for the focused information that the 'Education Channel Partner' brand will provide. We're pleased to meet this need and assist education partners in understanding the scope and intricacies of this vertical market."

In addition to the three magazine titles, the 1105 Media Education Group also produces EducationPlaza, a state-specific marketplace for products and services, EduHound, an online resource for teachers and classrooms, and live events for both the K-12 and higher education markets.
