    US media company Meredith Corp said on Sunday it will buy Time Inc, the publisher of People, Sports Illustrated and Fortune magazines, in a US$1.84 billion all-cash deal backed by conservative billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.

    The deal is a coup for Meredith, which held unsuccessful talks to buy Time earlier this year and in 2013.
