Washington Post announces plans for new weekly business publication

The Washington Post confirmed Monday its plans to launch a weekly subscription newspaper, to be called Capital Business.

It will compete against the Washington Business Journal, an American City Business Journals paper. The paper will be delivered with the Post for the first month.

Capital Business will feature enterprise reporting, business analysis, commentary, industry trends, technology features, highlight entrepreneurs and more.

Much of the coverage in Capital Business will be segmented to focus attention on the area’s largest industries, such as government contracting, technology, finance, commercial real estate, national associations and the legal community.

Capital Business will also focus on the impact politics and policy have on business and technology, shedding light on difficult issues business owners and executives need to understand.

The paper will launch on April 19. Dan Beyers was named editor, and Arnie Applebaum was named general manager of the new publication.

Beyers has been with The Post for nearly 20 years and was previously a senior topic editor overseeing coverage of business, health, science and environment issues both in the paper and online.
