A360 Media, LLC
(branded
a360media
), formerly
American Media, Inc.
(
AMI
), is an American publisher of magazines,
supermarket tabloids
, and books based in New York City. Originally affiliated with only the
National Enquirer
, the media company's holdings expanded considerably in the 1990s and 2000s. In November 2010, American Media filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection due to debts of nearly $1 billion, but has continued to buy and sell magazine brands since then.
AMI has been in the news affiliated with accusations of
catch and kill
operations. On December 12, 2018,
the U.S. Attorney's Office
reported that AMI admitted to paying $150,000 to
Karen McDougal
in concert with
Donald Trump
's presidential campaign for the sole purpose of preventing damaging allegations prior to the
2016 US presidential election
.
[2]
[3]
According to its September 2018 non-prosecution agreement with
Southern District of New York
federal prosecutors, AMI "shall commit no crimes whatsoever" for three years, otherwise "A.M.I. shall thereafter be subject to prosecution for any federal criminal violation of which this office has knowledge."
[4]
On April 10, 2019, Chatham Asset Management, which controls 80 percent of AMI's stock, forced AMI to sell the
National Enquirer
.
[5]
[6]
This came after Chatham owner Anthony Melchiorre, who AMI has also relied on for survival, expressed dismay over the tabloid magazine's recent scandals involving hush money assistance to
U.S.
president
Donald Trump
's 2016 campaign and blackmail of
Jeff Bezos
.
[5]
[6]
On April 18, 2019, AMI agreed to sell not only the
National Enquirer
, but two of its other publications,
Globe
and
National Examiner
, to
Hudson News Distributors
.
[7]
[8]
In August 2020, Chatham Asset Management, AMI's owning holding company, announced it would merge AMI with Accelerate 360, a wholesale distribution company it also owned. As part of the merger, AMI was officially renamed A360 on October 1.
[9]
In February 2023, A360media agreed to sell the
National Enquirer
to VVIP Ventures, a joint venture of the digital media company Vinco Ventures and a new company set up for the purchase, Icon Publishing.
[10]
As of July 7th, 2023 the deal has collapsed as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

History
[
edit
]
Logo as American Media, Inc.
The modern American Media came into being after
Generoso Pope Jr.
, longtime owner of the
National Enquirer
, died in 1988, and his tabloids came under new ownership. American tabloids began consolidating in 1990, when American Media bought
Star
from Rupert Murdoch. The purchase of Globe Communications (owner of the
Globe
and the
National Examiner
) followed nine years later.
[12]
Roger Altman
, through
Evercore Partners
, bought a controlling stake in American Media in 1999.
[13]
American Media is not to be confused with American Media Distribution, the international news coverage firm. American Media's former corporate headquarters in
Boca Raton, Florida
, figured prominently in news headlines in late 2001, after an
anthrax attack
was perpetrated on the company
[14]
and other media outlets.
[15]
Since then the corporate headquarters have moved to New York City at 1 Park Avenue in
Manhattan
, before moving to the
Financial District
to the former
JP Morgan Chase
headquarters at
4 New York Plaza
. That building was severely damaged by
Hurricane Sandy
but reopened in February 2013.
AMI continued to expand after it bought
Joe Weider
's Weider Publications in 2002. Joe Weider continued to manage control of his magazines under AMI's Weider Publications subsidiary until his death in March 2013.
[16]
[17]
American Media also owns Distribution Services, an in-store magazine merchandising company. In fall 2002, it launched the book-publishing
imprint
, AMI Books.
[18]
2010s: Bankruptcy and continued acquisitions
[
edit
]
In 2009, American Media was taken over by its bondholders to keep it out of bankruptcy.
[19]
In November 2010, American Media filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection due to nearly $1 billion in debt, and assets of less than $50,000.
[20]
Its subsidiary, American Media Operations Inc., listed assets of $100 to $500 million and debt of over $1 billion.
[21]
It exited in December.
In May 2014, American Media announced a decision to shift the headquarters of the
National Enquirer
from Florida, where it had been located since 1971, back to New York City, where it originally began as
The New York Enquirer
in 1926.
[22]
In August 2014, American Media was acquired by Chatham Asset Management and
Omega Charitable Partnership
.
[23]
In 2015, American Media sold
Shape
,
Natural Health
, and
Fit Pregnancy
to
Meredith
.
[24]
In 2016, Pecker revealed to the Toronto Star that AMI now relied on support from Chatham Asset Management and its owner Anthony Melchiorre.
[25]
[6]
The $4 billion hedge fund owns 80 percent of AMI's stock.
[6]
In March 2017, American Media acquired
Us Weekly
from
Wenner Media
for a reported $100 million.
[26]
Three months later, in June 2017, American Media also acquired
Men's Journal
from Wenner Media.
[27]
In June 2018, American Media acquired 13 brands from
Bauer Media Group
including
In Touch Weekly
,
Life & Style
and
Closer
to add to their celebrity portfolio. They also acquired Bauer Media's kids group including
J-14
and
Girl's World
.
[28]
In February 2019, American Media acquired
TEN
's adventure sports properties.
[29]
In April 2019, the
National Enquirer
was reported to be up for sale and likely to be sold within days. The company stated that it had shifted its emphasis away from tabloids to its "glossy" magazines such as
Us Weekly
and
Men's Journal
.
[30]
This came following pressure from Chatham owner Anthony Melchiorre, who expressed disapproval of the Enquirer's style of journalism.
[6]
[5]
On April 18, 2019, AMI accepted an offer from Hudson News Distributors head James Cohen and agreed to sell not only the
National Enquirer
, but also
Globe
and
The Examiner
to Hudson News Distributors for $100 million.
[7]
[8]
At the time the sales were announced, AMI was approximately $355 million in debt.
[31]
In 2022, A360 acquired single issue magazine publisher Centennial Media.
[32]
Also in 2022, A360 sold
Men's Journal
and the Adventure Sports Network properties to The Arena Group.
[33]
Checkbook journalism controversy
[
edit
]
On April 22, 2024, Pecker acknowledged that the
National Enquirer
engaged in a practice of
checkbook journalism
which involved paying sources for stories, and that he "gave a number to the editors that they could not spend more than $10,000" and he had final say over celebrity stories.
[34]
[35]
He also acknowledged that "checkbook journalism" served as part of the editorial philosophy he followed when ran American Media Inc.
[35]
[34]
Pecker stated that he believed that “The only thing that is important is the cover of a magazine.”
[35]
"Catch-and-kill" scandals related to Donald Trump
[
edit
]
Allegation about Trump Tower maid
[
edit
]
In late 2015, AMI paid $30,000 to Dino Sajudin, a doorman at
Trump Tower
, to obtain the rights to his story in which he alleged Donald Trump had an affair in the 1980s that resulted in the birth of a child. Sajudin in April 2018 identified the woman as Trump's former housekeeper.
[36]
AMI reporters were given the names of the woman and the alleged child, while Sajudin passed a lie detector test when testifying that he had heard the story from others. Shortly after the payment was made, Pecker ordered the reporters to drop the story.
[37]
In April 2018, AMI chief content officer
Dylan Howard
denied the story was "spiked" in a so-called "
catch and kill
" operation, insisting that AMI did not run the story because Sajudin's story lacked credibility.
[38]
On August 24, 2018, after AMI had released Sajudin from the contract, CNN obtained a copy of it and published excerpts. The contract instructed Sajudin to provide "information regarding Donald Trump's illegitimate child," but did not contain further specifics of Sajudin's story.
[39]
In April 2024, Pecker testified in Trump's
New York criminal trial
how the story was his first "catch-and-kill" target during Trump's campaign, with Sajudin also attempting to claim that the child was a girl.
[40]
A National Enquirer editor who discovered the allegation originally did not know Sajudin's name, but just as a doorman who had worked at Trump.
[40]
Cohen was the one who discovered the names of the doorman and the alleged maid.
[40]
Though Cohen at first claimed the story was not true, the
National Enquirer
acquired the story for $30,000, which was noticeably higher than the usual $10,000 they paid for stories.
[40]
Karen McDougal
[
edit
]
American Media Inc. Non-Prosecution Agreement
In 2016, AMI paid
Playboy
model
Karen McDougal
$150,000 for exclusive rights to her allegations of a ten-month affair with
Donald Trump
?which she claimed happened in 2006?2007, when he was already married to
Melania
[41]
?but AMI never published the story. AMI publicly acknowledged having made the payment after
The Wall Street Journal
revealed it days before the 2016 presidential election, but AMI denied that its purpose had been to
"kill damaging stories about
" Trump; instead, AMI claimed it had paid only for "exclusive life rights to any relationship [McDougal] has had with a then-married man" and "two years' worth of her fitness columns and magazine covers."
[42]
[43]
In March 2018, McDougal filed a lawsuit to invalidate the non-disclosure agreement she had with AMI.
[44]
[45]
A month later, AMI settled with McDougal, allowing her to speak about the alleged affair.
[46]
In August 2018, it was reported that AMI CEO/chairman
David Pecker
and AMI chief content officer
Dylan Howard
were granted
witness immunity
in exchange for their testimony regarding hush money payments made by Donald Trump's then-personal lawyer,
Michael Cohen
, in an attempt to influence the 2016 presidential election.
[47]
On December 12, 2018, the U.S. Attorney's office announced its agreement with AMI. "AMI admitted that it made the $150,000 payment in concert with a candidate's presidential campaign," the press release said, so that Karen McDougal wouldn't "publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before the 2016 presidential election. AMI further admitted that its principal purpose in making the payment was to suppress the woman's story so as to prevent it from influencing the election." As a result of this agreement, AMI did not face prosecution and agreed to provide extensive assistance to prosecutors about the involvement of Trump and other politicians with the company.
[2]
The same press release also revealed that Michael Cohen had been sentenced to three years in prison for various crimes, including the $150,000 campaign finance violation?the facilitation of the payment to McDougal?to which he pled guilty on August 21, 2018.
[48]
[49]
[50]
AMI agreed to pay the
Federal Election Commission
a $187,500 fine in June 2021.
[51]
In April 2024, Pecker testified how he, Howard and Cohen conspired to get the
National Enquirer
to acquire McDougal's story.
[40]
Pecker stated that after Howard found out about McDougal's allegation, he sent Howard to California to interview her.
[40]
During the time Howard met with McDougal, he conversed with Cohen about the situation.
[40]
Ultimately, McDougal agreed to sell her story to the
National Enquirer
for $150,000.
[40]
Jeff Bezos blackmail
[
edit
]
In January 2019, the
National Enquirer
broke a story about the extramarital affair of
Amazon
founder and
Washington Post
owner
Jeff Bezos
with
Lauren Sanchez
. Bezos began investigating how and why the information had been leaked to the
National Enquirer.
[52]
President Trump has long expressed displeasure with Bezos,
[53]
[54]
[55]
and Trump's irritation may have increased due to the
Washington Post's
critical coverage of the murder (and the subsequent cover-up
[56]
) of one of its reporters,
Jamal Khashoggi
.
[57]
This, Bezos suspects, may have been the political motivation for someone to leak his affair to the tabloid.
[58]
On February 7, 2019, Bezos shared emails that he had received the previous day
[58]
in which AMI sought a public statement from him and his lawyer "affirming that they have no knowledge or basis for suggesting that AM's coverage [of the sexual affair] was politically motivated or influenced by political forces, and an agreement that they will cease referring to such a possibility." AMI chief content officer
Dylan Howard
and his lawyer Jon Fine threatened Bezos, saying that if Bezos did not promptly meet their demands, AMI would publish
selfies
and
sexts
sent between Bezos and his girlfriend.
[59]
Bezos wrote that he would refuse to make this "specific lie" or to otherwise participate in this blackmail bargain that "no real journalists [would] ever propose."
[58]
"Of course I don't want personal photos published," Bezos added, but he said he chooses to "stand up, roll this log over, and see what crawls out."
That same day,
The Washington Post
published an article on the matter, quoting a former federal prosecutor who speculated that this news could undermine AMI's recent deal with the government. If prosecutors decide they must file new criminal charges against AMI, the government may not be able "to continue to use them [AMI] to assist other ongoing investigations," said Robert Mintz.
[60]
Lauren Sanchez's brother, Michael Sanchez, an ardent Trump supporter, stated he was told by multiple AMI employees that the Enquirer set out to do "a takedown to make Trump happy"
[61]
and
The Daily Beast
reported seeing documents showing that Sanchez believed the Bezos story was run with "President Trump's knowledge and appreciation."
