Media and Publishing Deal Toys

The galleries beginning on this page provide over 70 images of financial tombstones and deal toys from the media and publishing space. You’ll find deals involving a range of technologies, channels, and content, including traditional print, streaming services, radio, video games, social media, and game publishers.

You’ll also see transactions and deal tombstones involving a number of prominent media companies and brands in these sectors. These include TelevisaUnivision, Conde Nast, Sky, Viacom, Liberty Global, Discovery, ZeniMax, DC Comics, McGraw Hill, and Sirius.

But you’ll also discover here deals involving less familiar players, media, and properties. These might include Series A funding for a Danish podcast provider, the initial public offering of an Australian billboard and outdoor media company, the acquisition of a German book wholesaler, the merger of two independent comic book publishers, the acquisition of an adtech agency, and financing provided to a French publishing firm.

Finally, you’ll find in these galleries commemoratives and awards not related to a financial transaction. These custom designs honor a range of milestones and achievements in these sectors. They celebrate, for example, the launch of one sports network, and the rebranding of another, joint venture partnerships between content providers, and a successful copyright judgment brought by a publisher regarding an iconic comic book character.
