Thirty years after Barry Diller established IAC (InterActiveCorp.) as a media holding company, he announced that it will change its name to “People Incorporated” by its Q2 earnings in August. The name change is “to reflect its focus on its People publishing business and its stake in MGM Resorts,” the company said.

IAC’s Dotdash Meredith publishing unit in July 2025 had changed its name to People Inc. Now, that’s going to be the name of the entire enterprise.
