More than a news magazine

Invaluable resource. Business partner. Community leader. The Greater Baton Rouge Business Report is dedicated to being more than one of our nation’s finest local business news publications. We are an asset to everyone who lives and works in the Capital City because we play an active role in local business development—and we’re proud of that. It is with this attitude that we begin each day. And, as business partners with the community, we can further Baton Rouge’s reputation as a progressive city with an active environment for commerce.

Required reading

Penned by a national award-winning editorial staff, Business Report has become required reading for area professionals, executives and small business owners. We deliver the business news first, spotlighting the local players, keeping a finger on the pulse of the economy and “putting a face” on business issues.

What distinguishes Business Report‘s brand of business news coverage? We provide our readers with the absolute latest “scoops” and in-depth coverage. And we don’t just report the facts; we also explain the news and analyze the trends.

We know that you don’t have time to seek your news from a variety of publications. Our goal is to provide a single source for business news to keep our readers abreast of trends and help them remain competitive in the local, state and global markets. Business Report is proud to consistently deliver a product that is lively, informative and, above all, fair—encouraging readers to see all sides of the issues and make educated and informed decisions.
