JTN Network, the parent company of Just the News™, announced Monday that it has acquired the news brands Human Events™ and The Post Millennial™ as it launches a major expansion into a news, entertainment and technology network.

Human Events, one of the country’s oldest conservative publications dating to the 1940s and once a favorite of Ronald Reagan, will be ending daily publication this month and will be re-imagined into a large virtual and live events platform with ticket, music and movie sales and daily event programming for politics, news, sports and entertainment.

JTN Network will be led by CEO Mark Meckler who is an experienced entrepreneur and policy activist. He is joined by Just the News founder John Solomon, who will serve as Chief Strategy and Content officer as well as Board chairman.

Jeff Webb, the prior owner of Human Events and The Post Millennial, will join the group as a key strategy adviser and will help develop the new events platform.

“We believe there is a substantial opportunity to build a competitor to the Live Nations and Ticketmasters of the world that showcases the talent and values of middle America rather than the disconnected elitism of Hollywood,” Meckler said.

In joining the team, Webb provides extensive experience in entrepreneurship and management. Having launched Varsity, the company known for international cheerleading competitions and a host of related offerings, many decades earlier, Webb is no stranger to building a multi-faceted company through acquisition, and he brings decades-long experience in the events space.

“Jeff is a master executive who built the vibrant cheerleading communities into a lucrative and wholesome business. He is perfectly suited to help us build a four-dimensional, next-generation platform for live and virtual events,” Meckler said.

Webb expressed enthusiasm for the move and shared why he is looking forward to his active, ongoing role.

“I have been saying for a long time that this media space is in need of consolidation in order to provide a complete, comprehensive and financially sustainable offering to the public,” he said. “We built Varsity by focusing on our core competency, a big part of which was our events, and adding and building other offerings around it and in support of it. That successful experience is what I am bringing to JTN Network.”

Readers who have been serviced for decades by Human Events can continue to get their daily news by email or social media via Just the News.

JTN Network also announced that it plans to grow and expand The Post Millennial into a premier destination for GenZ consumers of news, lifestyle and entertainment content, including new programming and events.

Since its launch in 2017, The Post Millennial has been at the forefront of breaking news, particularly in the legal and political battles over culture. JTN Network plans to build on the site’s core team while gradually shifting its focus to reaching a younger demographic.

“The assassination of my friend Charlie Kirk unleashed an entire country on a quest for a more vigorous yet civil debate about the future of America, and we are certain The Post Millennial will be at the heart of that debate and continue to grow as a must-visit community for America’s next generation of patriots,” Solomon said.

Webb added, “There isn’t a conservative platform out there really trying to address the interests of the younger audience and reach them on their own terms and in their own language. The Post Millennial is going to embrace its name and become the go-to place for a younger audience to find news and opinion, and even lifestyle and entertainment content.”  

Meckler and Solomon said Human Events and The Post Millennial are the first of several acquisitions in the works for JTN Network as it seeks to build a news, entertainment and technology marketplace serving tens of millions worldwide.
