Reimagining how local business news is delivered

Jack Connors, the publisher of Buffalo Business First, writes about the redesign of the American City Business Journals paper.

Connors writes, “We have totally reimagined how we deliver local business news. It’s no longer about just telling a business story. It’s about having a business conversation. A conversation carried on face to face in business settings, and it’s trumpeted in social media.

“We want you to connect with our reporters and editors so you can tell us which stories matter to you.

“Our readers consume news much differently than they did when Business First started publishing almost 30 years ago. Business leaders need information now. They don’t want to wait until Friday to get the news they need to make important decisions.

“Business First is now a digital-first news operation, better able to provide information and data in a more comprehensive way.

“Our weekly edition, our free weekday Morning Edition and Afternoon Edition emails, our mobile and tablet editions and ongoing social media interactions work in concert to give you the news you want when you want it and how you want it.”
