Toledo newspaper launching biz magazine

The Toledo Blade announced Friday that it has started a quarterly business magazine.

A story on the paper’s Web site states, “The first edition of Toledo BIZinsider, a 40-page publication, is being mailed this week to 10,000 leaders in metro Toledo and another 5,000 copies will be distributed at various business offices.

“The free publication will have stories about local businesses and the issues they face each day, on finances, personnel, and other matters. It will contain stories that are different from those in The Blade, but the local stories and columns will be available upon publication on toledoblade.com.

“The premier edition has a cover story on Allshred Services Inc., a 20-year-old privately owned Maumee business that destroys 28 tons a day of documents, computer disks, and other material from companies in six states.”
