WebNewser, mediabistro.com Parent Eyeing paidContent?

paidContent parent Guardian News and Media may be forced to part with some of its assets in order to raise cash and, if paidContent publisher ContentNext Media is on that list, WebNewser and mediabistro.com parent WebMediaBrands is all ears.

WebMediaBrands CEO Alan Meckler told DailyFinance, “I would certainly be interested in discussing it,” following a tweet Wednesday that read, “We are on the prowl for acquisitions. Send me ideas.”

WebMediaBrands acquired mediabistro.com in 2007 for $20 million, and the company recently sold Internet.com for $18 million.

Meckler told DailyFinance, “We have $25 million in the bank and virtually no debt, so we’re looking for sites that media professionals read.”
