Eubanks retiring from ACBJ after 40 years

Longtime journalist Ben Eubanks is retiring this month from American City Business Journals.

“I’ve had the pleasure and challenge of being a pioneer in the growth of the business journals in the early 1980s, helping launch our digital news operations in the 1990s and most recently helping launch The Business Journals Content Studio,” he wrote on LinkedIn.

Eubanks has been editor of the branded content operation for the past seven years. He previously was managing editor of the national content team for seven years.

In 1990, he moved to Charlotte to help with build and launch ACBJ’s digital site for its local business journals and a national news and information site, now named The Business Journals.

He previously spent seven years at the St. Louis Business Journal as a reporter and editor.
