The San Diego Business Journal (SDBJ) is a weekly newspaper in San Diego, California, covering local business news. It covers economic news, demographics, and lifestyle profiles of San Diego.[3] The publisher also has a daily newsletter sent out via email which covers news updates.
Regular departments include "Up Front" (highlighting stories featuring San Diego businesses and their decision-makers); Media & Technology (focusing on changes and innovations in the businesses that serve these fields); Small Business (profiling growing small businesses); Investment and Finance, (profiling and analyzing San Diego’s public companies); and The List (ranking the top businesses in any given industry).
Top businesses in the industry include, but are not limited to: Largest Private Companies, Fastest-Growing Private Companies, Highest Paid Executives, Highest Revenue Generators, and Permanent Placement Services List. Each of these surveys is then compiled into the San Diego Business Journal's resource – the annual Book of Lists.[4]
The San Diego Business Journal was established in 1980. In 1986, American City Business Journals acquired the SDBJ with the purchase of Scripps Howard Business Journals.[5] In 1988, ACBJ sold the Los Angeles and San Diego Business Journals to a group led by Kansas City developer Larry Bridges.[6] [7]
