Biz journal launching new print product

The Jacksonville Business Journal, an American City Business Journals paper, is starting a new print product.

Michael Clinton, the web producer for the paper, writes, “Our Connections section will be going away next year and in its place will be ‘Scene & Be Seen’ (pending legal approval). Take a look at the right to get a glimpse at how it will likely look. If the image is too small, click here to download a PDF of a larger version.

“The section is simple and offers two things:

A way to be seen in the business community at charity events, networking events, office parties and things of that nature.
A suggestion for upcoming networking events.

“Judy Gile, our business development executive, will provide her top picks for networking events that she recommends or will be attending in the coming weeks.

“We are looking to launch the new product in our Jan. 11, 2013, issue.”
