The parent company of the Daiily Herald, a daily in suburban Chicago, plans to launch a new monthly magazine for the suburban Chicago business community in November.
A story on the Inland Press website states, “With an initial distribution of 12,000 copies, the magazine will feature companies, newsmakers and issues of importance to suburban businesses.
“Kim Mikus, who writes a twice-weekly business column in the Daily Herald, will serve as editor of the new publication, Daily Herald Suburban Business.
“Also, an enhanced Biz2Biz e-newsletter will provide a weekly suburban business report and a digest of current business news. The Daily Herald Biz2Biz e-newsletter reaches 5,000 suburban businesses through e-mail every week.
“‘The connection of businesses to one another is a largely unmet need in the suburbs,’ Doug Ray, chairman and CEO of Paddock Publications said in a statement. ‘We know from our own experience that business owners, managers and corporate leaders and their staffs want relevant local business news and information, and currently there is no authoritative source for it in the suburbs. This new initiative will fill that void with a monthly magazine, resource guides, a new and improved Biz2Biz enewsletter and special events featuring prominent suburban business executives, sharing best practices and current business developments.'”
