Yellow Media (formerly Yellow Pages Income Fund) (TSX: YLO.UN) is a Canadian income trust which is a publisher of printed and online telephone directories and classified advertising through its subsidiaries Yellow Pages Group and Trader Corporation. The company was founded following the buyout of Bell Canada's directory business and subsequently acquired SuperPages Canada, the directory publisher for Telus.
In October 2008, Yellow Pages was named one of "Canada's Top 100 Employers" by Mediacorp Canada Inc. and was featured in Maclean's newsmagazine, the only directory publisher to receive this honour.[2]
In March 2011, Yellow Pages sold Trader Corporation to funds advised by APAX Partners for $745 million.[3]
Its headquarters is located on Nuns' Island in Montreal, Canada.
