A city's business journal has a geographic focus around a metropolitan area and covers local business news. Generally, these can be found in libraries within the coverage area. Business journals can be published by an independent publisher, or as part of a regional or national publisher network. Perhaps the most familiar is American City Business Journal (ACBJ). There are 40+ cities that are part of ACBJ, but the cities and titles have changed over time.
