To our readers and supporters:
The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped all aspects of life over the last few weeks and will continue to impact all of us in the days and potentially months ahead.
Aside from the human suffering, businesses in all industries — including ours — are being negatively impacted by the partial shutdown of the economy. At a time when trusted, local journalism is needed now more than ever, advertising and event revenues are temporarily declining.
Yet, Hartford Business Journal believes in its mission now more than ever, removing its paywall to coronavirus coverage in recent weeks so that your business has all the information it needs about COVID-19, when it needs it. We’ve also launched a free webinar series to help small businesses better understand how they can take advantage of the massive $2 trillion federal stimulus package.
All these services cost money to produce, so we are asking for your support during these challenging times. HBJ has set up a fundraising campaign to support our news operations and continuing daily coverage of the coronavirus.
All contributions are tax deductible thanks to an innovative partnership HBJ has established with the Local Media Association.
Also, please consider extending your support by subscribing to the Hartford Business Journal.
Feel free to email our audience development manager Valerie Clark (vclark@nebusinessmedia.com) and we will be happy to assist you. Or, you may subscribe online here.
As we head into uncertain times in the days and weeks ahead, HBJ will continue to keep you up to date on how the pandemic is impacting the region’s business community.
We hope you and your employees stay healthy.
Thank you for your support.
