Missouri biz journal changes its name

The Tri-State Business Journal has changed its name to the Joplin Regional Business Journal, according to a story on the KOAM-TV website.

The story says,”New owners, Larry and Mikell Warren and their staff say the newly formatted paper will bring in more regional news.

“The publication will continue every two weeks.

“Owners say the journal has similar goals to the Joplin Regional Prosperity Initiative, to bring more businesses and economic development to the area.

“‘We changed the name to better reflect the community, so that we can encompass more than just the tri-state, that we might be able at some point to touch people in Arkansas and elsewhere,’ says Mikell Warren.

“‘We’re just really looking forward to it,’ says Larry Warren.  ‘We’re excited about it, to bring a new look to an old product.’

“The publication will also soon implement ag and legislative sections covering the area.”
