BusinessWeek kills Chicago edition after eight issues

BusinessWeek magazine decided to shutter its Chicago regional edition after eight issues due to poor ads sales, reports Ann Saphir of Crain’s Chicago Business.

Saphir writes, “Two staffers, one in editorial and one salesperson, have lost their jobs.

“BW Chicago, which was run out of Business Week’s Chicago bureau, was a prototype for what was envisioned to be a series of city-based supplements to the national magazine. That plan is now dead.
