Las Vegas Biz Press switching to tabloid format

The Las Vegas Business Press is switching from a glossy magazine format to a tabloid newspaper format.

Editor Norman Bell writes, “And, it’ll have new features inside:

■ Each week, our Focus section will look at a specific industry in a combination of stories and columns from guest experts.

■ A page called Learning Curve will help readers get better at what they do. Jim Pawlak’s BizBooks column will be a recurring theme and he’ll be joined by a mix of stories and columns offering business tips.

■ People are the universal driver of business and we’ll be doing more profiles of business men and women. Some will be C-suite executives; some will be startup innovators; others will be small-business owners and entrepreneurs.

■ The first week of each month, we’ll take a closer look at one of our area’s distinct neighborhoods. We’ll open with a look at hospitality and the Strip. In subsequent months, we’ll focus on Summerlin and Henderson, North Las Vegas and downtown.

■ We’re also adding a mix of guest columns. We’re inviting experts from across the valley — and sometimes beyond — to share their thoughts. The Talking Points series will look at broad subjects that cross industry lines. In ‘Expert corner,’ we’ll deliver topical information specific to an industry, often in combination with our Focus topic.”
