New SV Media Inc. has acquired Out & About magazine. The monthly joins a family of publications that includes the Morgan Hill Times, Gilroy Dispatch, the Hollister Free Lance, Good Times in Santa Cruz and Metro in Sili- con Valley.
“We look forward to building on Out & About’s mission of providing family-friendly information about upcoming events and activities,” said Morgan Hill Times Publisher Jeff Mitchell. “Out & About clearly had become a popular read and had established widespread distribution in the South Valley. It complements our home-delivered model well. We can now offer comprehensive coverage of our communities at home and with convenient guides that will be visible in the areas where people go to shop and spend free time.”

The publication was started in 2000 by former Bay Area Parent production manager Sylvia Myrvold and sold to Bobbi Jo Palmer Productions in 2010. Myrvold, a Morgan Hill native, remained as editor but will be retiring to Southern California.
Bobbi Jo Palmer, a Gilroy resident active in the Gilroy Rotary club and as a board member of the Gilroy Art Alliance, will remain as Out & About’s publisher.
Morgan Hill Times features editor Kristi Parker Johnson, who formerly served as editorial director of a Texas-based magazine and newspaper group, will become editor of Out & About.
