Bloomberg and BusinessWeek announced Friday that they will cease publishing BusinessWeek SmallBiz and integrate the coverage into the Web site and magazine.
The staff of the magazine had been laid off last month in the purge of employees that Bloomberg was not going to take with its acquisition of BusinessWeek.
“BusinessWeek.com’s Small Business Channel will deliver the same quality journalism and insights that small business professionals depend on, as well as targeted opportunities for advertisers looking to reach them,” said Bloomberg BusinessWeek Chairman Norman Pearlstine in a statement. “Because of the role small business plays in the overall business and economic environment, coverage will also be incorporated in our global print edition.”
Fortune Small Business also closed earlier this year, leaving Entrepreneur and Inc. as the two main business titles devoted to covering this segment.
Among the SmallBiz staffers who lost their jobs were senior correspondent Amy Barrett and staff writer Amy Choi.
