Section Rouge Media has acquired La Voix du Village, a monthly fashion, decorating and real estate book aimed at the Quebec gay and lesbian community. The free two-year-old pub has a 30,000 distribution. It was previously owned by Prestige Media. The deal was set at $252,000. President and founder of La Voix, Sylvain Sourdif, will remain as publisher.
Section Rouge Media is a newspaper and magazine publishing company founded in 2001 by journalist Richard Desmarais and attorney Jean-Pierre Rancourt. It has 32 pubs in its stable. Desmarais says he hopes the acquisition will aid his company’s advance into the English-Canadian market.
