ACBJ paper in New Mexico changes its name

The New Mexico Business Weekly, an American City Business Journals paper in Albuquerque, has changed its name to Albuquerque Business First.

Publisher Ian Anderson writes, “Our new name better reflects what we do and who we are as Albuquerque’s premier source of business news, whenever and wherever you want it.

“As the Albuquerque area’s only dedicated business publication, our mission remains simple: To be the first to deliver the most vital business news to Albuquerque’s decision makers. We’re carrying out that mission every day with the same team that has been the driving force behind our past successes as New Mexico Business Weekly.

“More than just a weekly newspaper, we’ve been delivering breaking business news through our website for years, and have greatly expanded our offerings in that area throughout 2012. Many of our readers rely on the intelligence and insight we offer to help them develop leads, make informed decisions and grow their business. These readers are living in a world of rapid shifts, and can’t wait until the end of each week to learn about what’s new in their local business community. We recognize the urgency of their need for information, and we’ve been fine-tuning our approach to news delivery so we can offer our readers the latest stories and developments as they happen.

“That’s why you’ve seen a drastic increase in the amount of news items we publish on our website each day and distribute through our Daily Update and Morning Edition emails, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages.”
