Minnesota biz journal publisher leaving for Dallas paper

Lisa Bormaster, publisher of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal, has been named publisher of the Dallas Business Journal, according to a short story in Thursday’s paper. Â

Both papers are published by Charlotte, N.C.-based American City Business Journals, the largest publisher of weekly business journals in the country.

The story stated, “Bormaster also will oversee the New Mexico Business Weekly in Albuquerque.

“She has led the Business Journal in Minneapolis for a decade. Prior to that, she spent three years as publisher of the Austin (Texas) Business Journal, and as advertising director at the Washington (D.C.) Business Journal, both ACBJ papers.

“Bormaster will commute between Dallas, Albuquerque and Minneapolis until early January, when she moves to Dallas. ACBJ Chairman Ray Shaw said he expects to name a new publisher in Minneapolis soon.”
