Portfolio.com is a website published by American City Business Journals that provides news and information for small to mid-sized businesses.[1] It was formerly the website for the monthly business magazine Condé Nast Portfolio, published by Condé Nast from 2007 to 2009.

Portfolio.com is continually updated and has several interactive features, including "BizWatch," which lets readers click an icon to get updates on companies and executives from selected news sources.[2]

History

Portfolio's April 2007 launch by Condé Nast was heavily reported on due, in part, to its large estimated budget reported to be between $100 million[3] and $125 million[4] (covering multiple years of operation), as well as the boldness of the publisher to launch a business magazine at a time when similar magazines such as BusinessWeek, Business 2.0, Forbes, and Fortune were struggling to sell advertising space.[4]

In October 2008, the magazine reduced its staff by 20 percent, and changed to publishing only 10 times per year. The stand-alone Web site, portfolio.com, was merged with other Condé Nast Web sites, with advertising sales for the site handled by Wired Digital.[5]

The magazine announced its closing on April 27, 2009.[6][7] A sister company, American City Business Journals, took over the website. American City Business Journals is a division of Advance Publications and publishes 40 weekly newspapers about business in local communities and their companion websites.[8]

Staff

J. Jennings Moss is Portfolio.com's editor.[9] He previously was a Managing Editor at FOXNews.com [10] and Senior Editor-News Manager for ABCNews.com [11] among other roles.

As a print magazine, Portfolio's 100-person editorial staff was led by editor-in-chief, Joanne Lipman.[12] During her 22-year tenure at the Wall Street Journal, Lipman was involved in the founding of the Weekend Journal, as well as the Personal Journal.[13] The Managing Editor was Jacob Lewis, the Design Director was Robert Priest, the Articles Director was Kyle Pope.

Content

Portfolio.com publishes regular business news stories and comprehensive findings of American City Business Journals’ research studies, which are analyzed by Godfrey Phillips, Vice President for Research at American City Business Journals.[14]

For the first time in 2010, Portfolio.com published the results of American City Business Journals’ “SMB Insights: The Business of Brands,” which rated more than 200 business brands across seven key attributes to determine overall rankings of brand strength.[15] Additional studies included information on investing and brand-preferences by SMB owners, [16] how SMB owners are using the Internet to improve their businesses [17] and how SMB are increasingly leveraging wireless devices. [18]

Portfolio.com launched the U.S. Uncovered series, a monthly collection of exclusive, in-depth analyses of trends, produced by G. Scott Thomas, a nationally recognized demographer.[19]
