No more bizAZ
bizAZ magazine is no more after the November 2008 issue comes out.
According to Editor, Christina Leonard…
No more bizAZIt was a difficult decision. General Manager Cami Kaiser notes that we have made great strides in content, design and sales, but we could not continue in this tough economic climate.
I truly believe bizAZ is one of the best business publications in the market, so I’m truly sad to see it go.
The good news is that we’ll continue to publish our sister publication, Arizona Woman. And we will produce some of bizAZ’s special projects such as “35 Entrepreneurs 35 and Under” and “10 Hot Growth Companies” through the business section of The Arizona Republic.

I for one am sad to see bizAZ go. When it first came out, it was a breath of fresh air, a truly innovative take on all the entrepreneurial activities going on in Arizona. When you roll a publication like that under the auspices of another, however, you snuff the life out of it, and that’s unfortunately what happened. You can’t combine big bureaucratic publications with independent innovative ones, not to mention the challenges of making a print version become successful in an online world.

Republic… Trib… Biz AZ…

Is it me, or do others see the end of the Pulliam family in the Valley? When editorial – from editors to the minion of interns – at any of its publications refuse to return phone calls or emails.
That’s how I knew the Tribune was in trouble.
Poor television stations in Phoenix. They used to read the Republic and then do stories. Now they must develop their own sources since Republic no longer has any news in it.
At least the Biz Journal appears to be healthy.
