Pacific Coast Business Times looks at steady growth

Henry Dubroff, the editor and founder of the Pacific Coast Business Times in California, writes about the paper’s continued growth and recent changes.

Dubroff writes, “We’ve also made a number of successful leadership changes. Publisher Linda le Brock has completed her first full year of running our sales and business operations, and she has produced some of the best results in our history. She’s given the Business Times an infusion of energy, social media smarts and marketing savvy.

“We also have the largest business news department between Los Angeles and the Bay area.

“Last year we promoted Stephen Neills to senior editor and he has begun taking over editing and story development responsibilities. Marlize van Romburgh was promoted to managing editor, a role that involves guiding our production processes and leading the way on digital initiatives. Both of them also continue to cover their respective beats.

“Last summer, we hired Dara Barney, a gifted journalism graduate of the University of Idaho, to the newly created position of Research Director/Special Reports Editor. She is in charge of all of our special sections, our Top 25 lists and our public records.”
