Indianapolis Biz Journal publisher is retiring

Greg Morris

Greg Morris, publisher of Indianapolis Business Journal and The Indiana Lawyer, announced Friday he will retire at the end of the month from IBJ Media Corp. after nearly 30 years with the company.

Lesley Weidenbener of the Business Journal writes, “IBJ Media CEO Nate Feltman, one of the company’s three owners, will add the publisher roles to his responsibilities.

“The change comes as IBJ has experienced a surge in readership—despite challenges in the newspaper industry overall—breaking a record this month for subscriptions that had been set in 2001. The number of people subscribing to IBJ has increased 39% in just the past two years.

“Morris, 64, came to IBJ from what was then WKLR-FM in the spring of 1991, starting as sales director for the weekly business newspaper. For several years, he held the same title at the former MyStar Communications, a company IBJ co-owner Mickey Maurer sold in 2004.”
