Business Journal founder George Economides writes, “Effective February 4, 2020, John Molina and his Pacific Community Media (PCM) company will assume ownership and management.

“‘Retire’ is probably not a word those of you who know me thought you’d ever hear me utter. The LBBJ has been my ‘baby,’ and for more than three decades I worked practically every day to ensure we produced a quality publication.

“Becoming a publisher wasn’t my first stint in journalism. I began my career at age 12, as a newspaper delivery boy in Long Beach, and, while stationed at a pilot training base in the U.S. Air Force’s public information office, I was the editor of the base newspaper after attending the military’s journalism school.
