Jupitermedia CEO Alan Meckler on Value of Mediabistro, Conferences and a Decade of Web Media Deals....

Jupitermedia CEO Alan Meckler is one of the most intriguing and successful entrepreneurs in the new media space. His firm recently acquired Mediabistro the journalism blog, networking/jobs and training site, for $23 million.

I sat down with him yesterday, after his panel at the paidContent conference, to have a wider ranging chat about the conference business, the Mediabistro acquisition and some reflections on his past 15 years and current acquisition strategy.

He told me that a big part of the value proposition in Mediabistro is its job boards and online training -- two key areas of expansion at Jupitermedia.
