Business Lexington will go from being a twice-monthly publication to monthly, beginning with its June issue.
Rich Copley of the Lexington Herald-Leader writes, “Publisher Chuck Creacy declined to say much more than that Thursday afternoon, other than the business publication’s new plan will be detailed in that issue.
“‘We have been very successful with monthly publications,’ Creacy said of Smiley Pete Publishing, which produces Chevy Chaser, The Southsider and Tadoo.com, in addition to Business Lexington. ‘Most of our advertisers already buy on a monthly basis.’
“The publication will continue to publish much of its content at Bizlex.com.
“Creacy hinted at changes afoot for Business Lexington last week when the paper laid off its editor, Tom Martin, saying he did not fit into the the publication’s new strategy.
“Thursday also brought news for Martin, who has been named a senior editor for KyForward, a progressive Central Kentucky news website.”
