02138 was an independent magazine founded by Bom Kim and purchased by David Bradley; it featured graduates of Harvard University. The publication was, however, not actually affiliated with Harvard. The title is a reference to the ZIP code of Harvard University's main campus in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1][2]
The owners sold the magazine to a New York City conglomerate.[3] On Friday, October 24, 2008, 02138's corporate parent, Manhattan Media, Inc., announced that it was ceasing the publication of 02138.
