About Us
Established by Asay Media Network, Joplin Business Journal began publishing weekly in February 2006 with a mission to be the tri-state region’s leading business news source.
Our 21 county coverage area includes the counties of Jasper, Newton, Barton, McDonald, Barry, Lawrence, Vernon, Dade and Cedar in Missouri; Cherokee, Crawford, Bourbon, Allen, Neosho, Labette, Montgomery and Wilson in Kansas; and Ottawa, Delaware, Craig and Nowata in Oklahoma.
Each weekly issue contains important business news and information, as well as profiles of area business leaders, inside reports, special focuses on featured communities, and popular favorites like the List, and For the Record..
The on-line version of the Joplin Business Journal is an electronic replication of the printed paper. Most, but not all, of the information in the print version also is available to subscribers on the internet. However, the electronic Journal will have a daily posting of breaking business stories.
In 2008, Joplin Business Journal produced four successful events – health care Heroes, Women of Distinction, Landmark Awards and 40 Under 40.
