Crain's Manchester to launch in December

Patrick Smith of the Press Gazette writes Monday that Crain’s Manchester Business, the first European business weekly from Crain Communications, will launch Dec. 17.

Smith wrote, “A prototype 24-page issue has been released.

“Weekly, city-based business papers are common in the States, though publisher Crain Communications claims this is the first to be published in Western Europe.

“Editor Steve Brauner said: ‘There is real excitement. People can’t wait to see what kind of publication we are going to produce. We believe we will fill a gap in the market by bringing people information they canâ€™t get elsewhere. Working on the prototype issue has shown that there is a lot of scope to do this.’

“The paperâ€™s news team will also post updates on its website Crainsmanchesterbusiness.co.uk.”
