Stuart Chamblin III, the longtime publisher of Memphis Business Journal, has announced that he is stepping down this spring, reports Rob Robertson of the paper.

Robertson writes, “Chamblin broke the news to the staff of the Business Journal this morning.

“Chamblin has been with American City Business Journals for more than 30 years, the last 17 in Memphis.

“He first joined the organization as the ad director for the Milwaukee Business Journal in 1983, and followed that with his first publisher job at the San Antonio Business Journal two years later.

“In 1988 he accepted the publisher’s job at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, where he served for nine years before coming to Memphis.”
