ACBJ launching mobile apps for its biz papers

Charlotte-based American City Business Journals announced Tuesday that it is launching mobile applications for all 42 of its business publications.

The St. Louis Business Journal is the first paper to launch its free mobile application for Android, Blackberry and iPhone devices. Other markets are scheduled to launch by the first quarter of 2011.

“We are dedicated to providing comprehensive, exclusive coverage on both local and national issues that affect our subscribers’ businesses and assist them in opening doors and making connections,” said Huntley Paton, executive editor for The Business Journals, an ACBJ subsidiary, in a statement.  “Mobile is an integral part of our growth strategy to deliver a more relevant and convenient experience.”

The app will also be available for the iPad and the Galaxy Tab.

Subscribers to the print edition of the papers will be able to access premium stories from their mobile device.

Kansas City-based Handmark is helping develop the apps for ACBJ.
