Worcester Business Journal publisher Peter Stanton plans to retire at the end of the year.
Stanton writes, “It has been my honor to lead one of the few remaining strong, independent journalism organizations, where the work we do every day not only delivers value, but makes a positive difference in the lives of our readers and the community at large.
“I was one of those local college grads (Holy Cross) back in 1979 who didn’t head off to Boston or New York, but returned to Worcester to take a job in sales for the upstart Worcester Magazine. Some of you might remember in 1982 when the company launched our first regional business publication: Business Worcester, which eight years later under new ownership was rebranded as Worcester Business Journal. Over the years, our company expanded to new markets, launching the Hartford Business Journal and acquiring Mainebiz. Today New England Business Media employs 46 people across three offices, with corporate headquarters here in Worcester. Over the years I found the job so interesting and challenging that I never left.”
