Christian radio broadcaster Salem Media Group has agreed to acquire conservative news site PJ Media. PJ Media will become part of Townhall Media alongside conservative sites Townhall, HotAir, RedState, Twitchy and Bearing Arms under the leadership of Vice President & General Manager Jonathan Garthwaite. The addition of PJ Media will increase Townhall Media's footprint to over 15 million unique readers each month.

"We're excited to add PJ Media to the Townhall Media network," said Garthwaite. "PJ Media has done great work covering the issues that impact the future of the country. Townhall Media's reach at a critical point in our nation's history grows tremendously with PJ on our team."

Former PJ Media CEO Aubrey Chernick said, "I am honored to have worked with an amazing group of writers to build PJ Media into the respected, trusted and established brand it is today. Now, there is an opportunity to continue to expand PJ Media's voice and brand and distribute its content to an even bigger audience."

Salem President/Interactive and Publishing David Evans added, "This is an exciting time for Salem and Townhall Media. In an age where many are struggling to figure out what a successful business model for online journalism looks like, we are continuing to grow and adapt in the changing environment and are thrilled to add PJ Media to the Salem family and serve even more Americans with quality news, analysis, and opinion on the most important topics of the day."
