Business weeklies

Blogger and educator Tim Penning recently did a piece on local business-to-business newspapers and had some nice things to say about the Grand Rapids Business Journal and he hit upon the biggest selling point for our readers, "And their reporters tend to really know the region, which translates into more thoughtful and comprehensive stories with a level of detail you wouldn't usually get in a national outlet."

That knowledge of the region makes the GRBJ a must-read for our readers who barely have time to watch TV much less read national business papers. Our editorial staff always tries to provide exactly what our readers need to stay connected and usually hit the target.

Tim also points out the difference between the credible, trusted journalism provided by some of the local business-to-business weeklies and the mindless dribble (my words) others try to pass off as news.
