Summit Publishing Co., Inc., doing business as Summit Media, is a Philippine digital media and publishing company. Founded in 1995, the company owns several entertainment and lifestyle media websites in the Philippines.

The company is privately owned by Lisa Gokongwei-Cheng, the daughter of Filipino businessman John Gokongwei.

History

Summit Media began as a consumer magazine publisher in June 1995, with Preview as its first magazine title. It turned into a publication conglomerate which published several lifestyle magazine titles, including Candy for young Filipino girls and Yes!, a Philippine entertainment magazine. The company later exited the print magazine business in 2018 to focus primarily on its digital media properties, most of which were taken from their print counterparts. Summit Media also publishes short books designed for Filipino readers.

Properties

Many of Summit Media's former magazines moved to their respective websites in 2018. Philippine Entertainment Portal, Inc., a joint venture with GMA New Media, Inc., operates Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph) and Sports Interactive Network Philippines (SPIN.ph). Summit Media also operates verticals such as Jobstreet.com.ph, MyProperty.com.ph and TravelBook.ph
