The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Philadelphia Magazine has acquired the local food blog Foobooz and hired editor/founder Arthur Etchells as a digital product manager.
Etchells founded Foobooz about four years ago. He will continue to run the site, with Kirsten Henri, the magazine’s food editor. Henri herself guest-edited Foobooz from time to time in its early days.
Parent company Metrocorp says it will launch Foobooz in Boston next year with a national eye.
Here’s the site’s Quantcast metrics, if you’re interested.
