Breaking Media Web News Publisher Raises $1.5 Million

TechCrunch: Breaking Media has raised a new funding round of $1.5 million. That’s on the small side compared to some of the big rounds announced by online media companies last year, particularly BuzzFeed and Vice Media. However, Breaking Media has a different strategy. Instead of trying to attract hundreds of millions of millennial eyeballs, the company is focused on a B2B audience — industry news for industry professionals with sites like Above the Law, Dealbreaker and Fashionista.
