New England Business Journals to merge with papers

The New England Business Journals will merge with the Sunday Rutland Herald and Barre-Montpelier Times Argus.

A story on the Times-Argus website states, “The four monthly New England Business Journals will merge with the Sunday paper in February. The free monthlies include the Rutland Business Journal, Champlain Business Journal, Valley Business Journal, and Battenkill Business Journal.

“January will be the last print publication of the individual business journals. Together, 25,000 copies were printed each month.

“Tentative plans are to include a Sunday business journal insert in the Sunday paper with free rack copies available, Rob Mitchell said.

“The Mitchell family purchased the business publications in 2003 from Richard and Lillian Rohe.

“One sales position was eliminated as a result of the merger of the business publications.”
