Philadelphia Business Journal unveils redesign

Philadelphia Business Journal editor Craig Ey and publisher Lyn Kremer wrote the following about the redesign of the American City Business Jouranls’ paper:

So what does that mean for our weekly edition? The product is, quite simply, better than ever. Each week, we take a deep dive into an issue — and, quite often, a controversy — that matters to you and your business. Week-in, week-out, we plan to give you the best enterprise and investigative reporting in the Delaware Valley.

Our weekly edition will also include the kind of analysis and context you have come to expect from our experienced staff. The key question — and we have it posted in our newsroom — is “What’s it mean?” You’re being inundated by information on your laptop, on your smartphone, on your tablet, etc. In our weekly edition, we aim to connect the dots for you.

The third major pillar of our business is our signature events, which continue to grow. A major part of our mission at the Business Journal is to help connect our readers — our awards programs and informational events have become some of the best networking opportunities in the region.

The Philadelphia Business Journal has been a successful, profitable venture for many years. So why change now? Frankly, since our founding, we’ve been a media innovator, and the best time to reinvest in a business or launch a new strategic initiative is from a position of strength.
