NWA Business Journal Launches New Site, Ups Interactive Presence

Gray Matters president and CEO Darin Gray has announced the launching of a new website — www.nwabusinessjournal.com — that will serve as a complement to the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal.

Under a previous agreement, the Journal’s Internet presence was tied to that of its sister publication, Little Rock-based Arkansas Business. The new site will continue to feature a portal to www.arkansasbusiness.com, as well as a select group of other news outlets.

Gray said the Journal’s new site will continue to provide state, regional and national news, but also deliver more Northwest Arkansas-centric content. That will include increased coverage of daily and breaking news events in addition to traditional Journal content.

“The Northwest Arkansas Business Journal has been the go-to source for business news in this area for 15 years,” Gray said. “That’s what our readers have come to expect, and that is what we will continue to give them. The new website simply gives us another avenue to deliver the kind of business news that matters most to our readers.”

Additionally, Gray announced that assistant editor Paul Gatling has assumed oversight of the Journal’s Facebook and Twitter presence. There will be increased activity in both forums in conjunction with the launching of the new website.
