Mike Russell and William “Doc” Worley, the founders of the Kansas City Business Journal, which was the cornerstone of what has become American City Business Journals, today the parent company of 41 weekly business newspapers, talked about how their first paper got started in an article posted Friday on the paper’s web site.
“The paper also caught the attention of The Star, itself the subject of a front-page story in the inaugural edition. Worley said he knew the paper was catching on when The Star began sending a cab to the Business Journal‘s offices each week to pick up papers.
“‘We woke them up 25 years ago, and they’re still awake,’ Worley said.
“Fogel agreed that The Star rose to the challenge posed by the Business Journal and put together a strong business staff.
“Buoyed by their success, Russell and Worley began building a chain of local business journals. In four years, they started 18 papers and bought another 18.”
