BiographyMar 20, 2013Nashville, TN, USA, Daniel Houghton is a video journalist, multimedia producer, photographer and founding member of NC2 Media. As a photojournalist, he worked for The Seattle Times and the US Army before starting his own company, clients of which included ABC, the Associated Press, and McClatchy Newspapers. He also served as a digital media advisor and educator at his alma mater Western Kentucky University and received multiple awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and other journalism associations. Houghton leads the NC2 team across a wide range of technology developments and endeavors.


Meet Daniel Houghton, the young globetrotter tasked with guiding Lonely Planet out of decline
Daniel Houghton is the executive director of NC2 Media, which recently purchased the Lonely Planet guidebook company for $77 million.

Nevin Batiwalla Staff Reporter- Nashville Business Journal

Less than three years ago, Daniel Houghton was a photojournalism student at Western Kentucky University. Now he's the top-man at the company that will soon own iconic travel guide company Lonely Planet.

Not bad for a Fayetteville, Ga. (population 15,945) native who grew up flying around the world for free, as both of his parents worked for airlines.

Houghton is the executive director of Franklin-based NC2 Media, which Tuesday announced plans to buy the Lonely Planet travel media company from BBC Worldwide for about $77 million. NC2 Media is owned by Brad Kelley, the notoriously private billionaire who founded and later sold the Commonwealth Brands tobacco company.

These days the twenty-something Houghton (he wouldn't reveal his age) is a very busy guy. On Tuesday he was in Australia. On Wednesday it was Singapore. As Lonely Planet's new chief operating officer, Houghton will have his work cut out for him: The guidebook industry has experienced rapid decline in recent years.

Houghton talked to the Nashville Business Journal via email about the future of Lonely Planet, how he got connected with Kelley and his deep-rooted love of travel.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself: How old are you? Where are you from? What is your business background?

I'm from Fayetteville, Ga., and I lived there until moving to Kentucky to attend WKU to pursue photojournalism and new media. Both of my parents worked for the airlines and I had the privilege of flying around the world for free until I graduated college. I took advantage of it. Travel was therefore ingrained in me at a young age and much of my career has been focused on facilitating my ability to travel. I have a wife of 2 ½ years and we live in Franklin.
