Converting from weekly reporters to daily and hourly

Carol Clark, the publisher of the Dayton Business Journal, writes Friday about the redesign of the American City Business Journals paper.

Clark writes, “Our move into the future is a bright one in which we continue to bring you the local business news and provide you connections. However, now we bring you the news how you want it, whether it is in 140 characters or less on Twitter, or an in-depth analytical piece in our weekly edition, or headlines on your smart phone. We are platform agnostic — however you choose to digest the news that we deliver daily, we have options with social media, mobile, tablet, laptop, PC or in print.

“Over the past year, our reporters have converted from weekly reporters to daily, even hourly, reporters who are charged with bringing you the business news heard nowhere else before. It seems that the changes we have already made over the past year have resonated with our readers, as we were 4th in subscriber growth in our chain of 43 business journals.

“News is now a conversation. We invite you to take part in that conversation by engaging with us all the ways you see here. We want to know what you are thinking and we want to report on news that matters to you and your industry.

“Of course, we thank our premium subscribers for your trust in us as a critical source of business news. And if you do not subscribe, or if you only subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, you are missing our best news and analysis in our weekly edition.”
