Changes coming to look of ACBJ papers

Evan Rosenberg, publisher of the Pittsburgh Business Times, writes about changes come to American City Business Journals publications.

Rosenberg writes, “It is with all of this disruption over the past four years in mind that we’ll be instituting some changes to our weekly edition with a redesign that you’ll see coming in mid-April.

“Our masthead color blue will be refreshed, not that big of a deal for us, but for those of our sister markets at American City Business Journals that currently use green or red, things will look decidedly different.

“Many pages of the paper also will get a refresh to offer a more modern approach to our coverage.

“Those of you who get our weekly print edition — and, yes, many of you still do — will see a reduced paper size. This is being done not as a cost-cutting measure, but rather to have one consistent size across all 40 Business Journal markets. Believe it or not, we have multiple sizes across our publications. This change will make it easier for national and regional advertisers to do business with us and also assures that as printers across the country face closure, our weekly edition will have further protection. I know that our print product is as essential for many of you as it is for me, and this change to our size is about insuring our future.”
