Who Is The Biz Journals?
“Sales reps were spending 70% of their time on non-selling activities. Copy.ai flips that script, saving 15 hours a week per rep that can now go back into building relationships and pipeline.”
Jack Cassidy
VP of Revenue Operations
The Business Journals delivers breaking business news across 40+ U.S. markets, serving millions of decision-makers who rely on timely, accurate reporting.
By 2025, this repetitive formatting work had begun slowing newsrooms down. Editors and reporters were spending valuable time rewriting headlines for SEO, email, social, and onsite readers instead of breaking news. Resource constraints, mounting content demands, and inconsistent outputs created operational drag across all markets — pushing the team to ask the same question: “Can AI help us with this?”
The Challenge
Publishing Pressure
Dozens of new stories must be produced daily across 40+ markets, each requiring multiple headline versions, summaries, teases, and metadata before publishing.
Channel Complexity
Every story needed unique versions for SEO, email, and site formatting, creating repetitive work that pulled reporters away from reporting and slowed overall output.
Inconsistent Quality
With staff stretched thin, tone and consistency varied across markets, creating brand drift and uneven quality across the national publishing network.
The Solution
