IDG Communications, Inc. We connect the world of tech buyers with insights, intent and engagement. We believe technology exists to make the world a better place. It shortens distances, increases knowledge and drives change. But technology alone serves no one. It lacks purpose. It lacks heart. It is computing power without brain power, a half-measure that falls short of its potential. At IDG, we bridge art and science, design and technology, capturing the energy that is released when these worlds are combined. It starts with our people and our rich history of technology media leadership. Today, IDG is the world`s leading technology media, data and marketing services company. We are the new model of a modern media company, with a data-driven approach and marketing services that accelerate purchasing and deepen engagement. We use our data and experience to see what others can`t. We build meaningful relationships to put those insights to work for the all-powerful, the up-and-comers and the game changers. IDG influences the most powerful tech buyers in the world—from business technologists to enthusiasts and everyone in between. Our brands are now household names in 97 countries. At the heart of technology is IDG.

John Georges, who took over a small family company and transformed it into a billion-dollar business, completed a deal May 7, 2013 to buy The Advocate. Georges named two veteran Louisiana journalists as senior executives. Georges said he will serve as publisher of The Advocate and he named Dan Shea as general manager and Peter Kovacs as editor. Georges said he will meet Wednesday with the newspaper’s 450 employees. “The Advocate is a strong brand with dedicated employees and a supportive community,” Georges said. “In addition to one of the newest and most state-of-the-art print production facilities in the industry, The Advocate has impressive digital capabilities. Together, these components ensure The Advocate will thrive for a long time to come.” David Manship, who was publisher of The Advocate, said while it was a “sad day” to sell his interest in a newspaper he had been involved with for 40 years, it is going into good hands. “John is a very capable businessman,” Manship said. “He’s a true Louisianian and he will do an excellent job to carry on the tradition that the paper has established.”
