What's New at Seamans Media

Seamans moves into historic new digs

Seamans Media, Inc., has moved its editorial and administrative offices to historic Quincy Center.

After 14 years in North Quincy, Seamans now makes it headquarters in the Granite Trust building at 1400 Hancock St. in Quincy, Mass. Seamans Media -- which was founded in a garage in Quincy in 1995 -- occupies the Seventh Floor of the building, which was built in 1929 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The building, now the home of Bank of America, stands in Quincy Center, which is undergoing an impressive redevelopment plan to incorporate more business, entertainment and residential projects in downtown Quincy.

"This is another sign of the growth and expansion of our company," said Eric Seamans, founder and President of Seamans Media, Inc. "As we continue to expand our portfolio of multimedia sports platforms and grow our full-time staff, we needed a larger, more distinctive office space to continue producing quality sports content for all of our publications and websites."

The move follows the launch in January of New York Hockey Journal and nyhockeyjournal.com, Seamans' fifth pair of monthly magazines and websites.

Seamans Media, Inc., also publishes New England Hockey Journal (hockeyjournal.com), New England Lacrosse Journal (laxjournal.com), New England Baseball Journal (baseballjournal.com), and New England Ski Journal (skijournal.com).
