(Jan. 4) – For four decades, the Dallas Business Journal has been the premier business-to-business publication in North Texas.
Boasting a paid circulation of 14,700 subscribers from its print version and an online audience of nearly three million per month, the DBJ is a leading source of information and data for companies that operate in the DFW area or want to operate here.
I am honored to announce that, starting today, The Texas Lawbook and the Dallas Business Journal have formed an editorial and business partnership that is sure to significantly lift the efforts of both publications to new levels.
The Texas Lawbook was created five years ago with the mission of providing unique and substantive information about business law (litigation, regulatory and transactional) to our readers and the Texas legal market.
In five short years, The Texas Lawbook has become a leading voice in the business law community. More than 8,200 business lawyers subscribe to the Lawbook, including more than 1,800 corporate in-house counsel. Several corporate legal departments, including AT&T, American Airlines, Energy Transfer Partners, Energy Future Holdings, ExxonMobil, Interstate Batteries, PepsiCo/Frito Lay, Southwest Airlines and Yum! Brands, have subscriptions for all of their in-house lawyers.
A few months ago, Dallas Business Journal editor Jeffrey Schnick approached me about possible ways our two newsrooms could join forces. I worked with Jeff at The Dallas Morning News and I knew him as someone who loved great journalism.
By teaming our resources with those of an award-winning business publication such as the Dallas Business Journal, The Texas Lawbook will be able to provide our subscribers with greater depth in our articles and we will be able to alert our readers regularly about the amazing content being produced by the journalists at the DBJ.
In addition, The Texas Lawbook will have two full pages of content in each issue of the DBJ, which means that considerably more business leaders will be exposed to the news and developments published in The Texas Lawbook. Shorter versions of Texas Lawbook articles will appear in the pages of the DBJ and in the DBJ’s quickly growing online platform.
The DBJ, led by Publisher and Market President Tracy Merzi, is a growing news operation that made key new hires in 2016, including finance reporter Jon Prior from Politico, technology reporter Shawn Shinneman and managing editor Jason Roberson, who was previously a business writer at The Dallas Morning News. The DBJ has a veteran award-winning reporting staff, led by Senior Reporter Candace Carlisle, who is a go-to source for commercial real estate news in North Texas.
The Texas Lawbook also has an editorial partnership with the Houston Chronicle.
