Suburban Chicago paper launches business monthly

The Aurora Beacon News in suburban Chicago launched a new monthly business section on Tuesday that complements its daily business page, writes editor Rick Nagel.

Nagel wrote, “Business Monthly magazine focuses exclusively on local business news — from chambers of commerce to economic development news, from local business features and photos to investment advice from top-level local pros.

“All we need to succeed in our mission is you.

“If you live or work in any of the communities we serve, we want your business news.”
