The Berkshire Eagle newspaper will launch the Berkshire Business Journal next month.
Publisher Fred Rutberg writes, “Our investment in the Berkshire Business Journal demonstrates our commitment to enhance and expand the coverage of matters that affect the Berkshire economy. Simply put, the Berkshire Business Journal will be strictly business.
“The Berkshire Business Journal will resemble a publication familiar to many readers in the county: Berkshire Trade and Commerce. Indeed, the Berkshire Business Journal is intended to fill the void left in our community when BT&C stopped publishing in March. You may be happy to know that John Townes, who was editor of BT&C, will continue writing for Berkshire Business Journal. You will find many of the regular features that were in BT&C — such as real estate transactions, people in business, new business stories — in the Berkshire Business Journal. We will, of course, add our own touches to keep the Berkshire Business Journal current and lively.
“Tony Dobrowolski will be the editor of the Berkshire Business Journal. Tony, whose byline is familiar to readers, has been covering business and the Berkshires for more than 25 years at The Eagle.”
