Last week, several members of our Nei-Turner Media Group team attended the Niche Conference in Orlando, FL. On Friday, our publisher and CEO Barb Krause was named the 2026 B2C Publisher of the Year, recognizing her visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to editorial excellence for more than 25 years.
Barb Krause started her career with Nei-Turner Media Group in the late 1990s, back when the company produced one single quarterly magazine, and has since led the company to a diversified multi-brand publishing company. Krause has expanded both the magazine portfolio and the staff, and now manages a team of 30 employees spread throughout multiple states.
Her leadership style emphasizes collaboration, accountability and a culture of continuous improvement. Krause uses a combination of hands-on mentorship with data-driven decision-making to ensure that every publication within the Nei-Turner Media Group brand serves as a trusted voice in its respective community.
As Nei-Turner Media Group looks to the future, Krause remains focused on sustainable growth and delivering compelling content that strengthens communities across every market we serve. The company congratulates Barb Krause for this well-deserved honor.
