Revenue at its media division for its properties Vimeo, Electus and Tina Brown's News Beast rose 51 percent to $58 million. Operating loss for the division narrowed to $3.5 million from $6.8 million in the year ago period.
For the second quarter, IAC posted net income of $58.3 million, or 67 cents per share, compared with $43.3 million, or 47 cents per share in the same period a year ago.
