Portland Business Journal launches new Web site design

The Portland Business Journal introduced a new Web site that emphasizes more local news, writes associate editor Lloyd Woods.

Woods writes, “Eventually, we plan to include short video clips highlighting such activities as our monthly breakfast speakers and events such as the corporate philanthropy awards.
