A story on the Times-Argus website states, “The four monthly New England Business Journals will merge with the Sunday paper in February. The free monthlies include the Rutland Business Journal, Champlain Business Journal, Valley Business Journal, and Battenkill Business Journal.

“January will be the last print publication of the individual business journals. Together, 25,000 copies were printed each month.

“One sales position was eliminated as a result of the merger of the business publications.”
