Fort Worth biz paper drops “Press” from name

The Fort Worth Business Press newspaper is now known as Fort Worth Business.

A story on its website states, “Along with the new name comes a new look, new features and a new investment in our news operation. Notice I didn’t say ‘newspaper.’

“Yes, we’re still publishing a weekly newspaper. And now a quarterly magazine, along with our many special sections and other publications. But we, like many other publications today, are bringing increased emphasis to our online and digital platforms. We’re amping up our digital products with new graphics and designs as well. A few months back we launched a new website that allows us to offer more video, audio and better graphics to better tell your story – the story of business in North Texas.

“What you’ll see:

• Our weekly publication will be called Fort Worth Business. The paper will be printed on coated stock that will look cleaner and bolder. It will also be easier to read.

• New logos and banners sporting ‘Fort Worth Business’ or ‘FWB’ across our publications, websites and graphic materials.

• New digital content with increased emphasis on videos, audio and graphics.

• New columns on food, wine, beer, automobiles and real estate.”
