ACBJ is rolling out TechFlash name across company

TechFlash, a tech news site started by two business reporters at the Puget Sound Business Journal in 2008, is now a brand name rolling out across the American City Business Journals chain.

Cromwell Scubarth, who covers technology for the sister paper Silicon Valley Business Journal, writes, “Our parent company, American City Business Journals, is rolling the TechFlash brand out around the country. Startup Now is a natural fit.

“Look for the same features we have delivered in the first month of Startup Now, along with top stories from affiliated publications in Boston, Austin, New York and elsewhere.

“Same great stories. New name. See for yourself on Monday.”

Charlotte-based ACBJ rolled the TechFlash site back into the Puget Sound Business Journal last year after the two journalists who started it left in 2011.
