The Baltimore Business Journal, which is owned by American City Business Journals, has seen a dramatic increase in revenue in the past few years, reports Alan Forman of Voice of Baltimore.
“‘We are positioned to provide you with all the up-to-date information you need’ to be competitive in the marketplace, the BBJ publisher, John Dinkel, told a packed conference room Friday at the newspaper’s Inner Harbor headquarters in the former Verizon Building on East Pratt St.
“The businesspeople, numbering close to a hundred and including government representatives as well, had come to learn what the Journal can do to give them a leg up on their competition and keep them informed and current on everything that’s going on in the world of industry and business.
“One small business owner, Amánda Karfakis, the president and CEO of Vitamin, a seven-employee startup located in Highlandtown, brought half her staff to the early a.m. meeting to see Dinkel and BBJ Editor Joanna Sullivan unveil the Journal’s newest product: a daily aggregation of news stories titled ‘Morning Edition’ — which the Journal describes as ‘Daily business news essential to Greater Baltimore’s business leaders’ — that is being sent out at 7:30 a.m. weekdays via email.”

Voice of Baltimore is honored to have been blogged on your excellent website. We've been following Talking Biz News for quite some time now.
VoB is primarily an online digital news website dedicated to providing in-depth watchdog journalism to the City of Baltimore and its surrounding areas. We work with limited resources and do not publish a print edition but would be most interested in hearing faculty and student views on the future of legacy media, not only relative to business journals but newspapers (and magazines) in general.
