The Hollywood Reporter and its sister magazines Adweek, Billboard and Backstage are up for sale again, according to sources who leaked an item to Claire Atkinson in Friday’s New York Post.

The financing for the titles comes via Guggenheim Partners and Pluribus Capital. The publications were acquired in December 2009 by Prometheus, then e5 Global Media, from Nielsen Business Media.
