San Fernando Valley Biz Journal switches to Inside the Valley

The San Fernando Valley Business Journal publication format will change from a biweekly newspaper to a bimonthly magazine and is being renamed Inside the Valley.

Publisher Josh Schimmels writes, “Two years ago, we merged operations of the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles Business Journals to provide more consistent news coverage throughout Greater Los Angeles. The concept was simple: two publications, one editorial voice. The results have been impressive. In 2023, both the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley Business Journals received top honors as best regional large tabloid and best regional small tabloid in the country, respectively, by the Alliance of Area Business Publishers. 

“This new magazine product, dedicated to the Valley’s Community of Business, is an important component of our long-term strategy and is overdue. The format change allows our editorial team to increase its time-sensitive Valley coverage within the pages of the weekly edition of the Los Angeles Business Journal. At the same time, it allows us to dive deeper into the people, companies and industries leading the Valley area in the pages of the magazine.

“Inside the Valley will don the Los Angeles Business Journal masthead and will continue to cover important business developments, economic trends and newsmakers, but in a way that will have greater longevity.”
