Triangle Business Journal names new publisher

Jason Christie has been named publisher of the Triangle Business Journal, an American City Business Journals publication.

A story on its website states, “He succeeds Bryan Hamilton, who announced in early June he would leave for a new business venture.

“Christie comes from the Charlotte Business Journal, a sister publication, where he worked as director of advertising since June 2014. He becomes the third publisher since American City Business Journals acquired TBJ in 1991.

“In a career that spans more than two decades, Christie has held nearly every imaginable position a news organization offers. He started in 1992 covering high school sports in Michigan and worked his way through the editorial ladder before switching to advertising in 2001. He even had a paper route at one point. He spent much of his career with Mlive Media Group and its predecessors.

“‘Jason’s background as a reporter, advertising executive and digital sales trainer make him standout as the right person to lead the Triangle Business Journal at a time of great invention in how we deliver on our mission to help local executives grow their business, grow their career, and simplify their professional lives,’ says Mike Olivieri, executive vice president of American City Business Journals, TBJ‘s parent company.”
