share thisThe Pocono Business Journal will cease publication following the February issue, according to a press release issued last week. Publisher/editor-in-chief Marynell Strunk cited the current economic climate and the shrinking print industry as the reasons for the paper’s end, which will be effective Friday.
Strunk founded the newspaper more than four years ago, launching the first issue in November 2005. She hired Debbie Burke as editor in August 2007. The journal was also known for its Editors on the Road presentations and the monthly Business and Books events, as well as its weekly email update “Taste of PBJ.”
“Coming to this decision has been difficult,” Strunk said in the press release. “It has been a wonderful opportunity to meet and work with the regional business community. I have to thank the advertisers who believed in and supported the publication over the years.”
The paper’s Web site, www.pbjonline.com, will remain online for several months so that readers can view past issues. Those wishing to contact the paper can e-mail publisher@pbjonline.com or editor@pbjonline.com.
