ACBJ changes names of online-only pubs in Providence, LA

American City Business Journals has changed the name of its online-only business publications in Providence and Los Angeles.

A story on the Providence website states, “Providence Business First joins L.A. Business First in rebranding for 2022, joining several other publications that operate under the Business First brand — all part of The Business Journals. Among those titles are Buffalo Business First, Columbus Business First and Louisville Business First.

“Business readers in Southern New England have affiliates or business interests in those cities or other markets outside of Rhode Island. You can bring those colleagues into the loop of Rhode Island business news through a sign-up offer for our daily Providence Business First newsletter, available here.

“The new name also reinforces our commitment to give you, our readers, news and information to help you grow your business, advance your career and simplify your professional life. Reporter Mary Serreze will continue to lead that coverage — as she’s done since the launch last fall — with a particular focus on the Greater Providence commercial real estate market and the city’s economic-development efforts.”
