New Orleans CityBusiness is a weekly business newspaper headquartered in Metairie, Louisiana, USA.

Launched in 1980, CityBusiness covers the metropolitan New Orleans area [1], including the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. The paper also has a Web site to report breaking news. CityBusiness launched a blog in January 2007.

New Orleans Publishing Group, owned by Minneapolis-based Dolan Media Co. (NYSE: DM), publishes CityBusiness [2], the monthly North Shore Report and the Daily Journal of Commerce. NOPG also produces custom publications and an annual Book of Lists.

In 2009, the CityBusiness named Zach Kupperman an Innovator of the Year for his work on PolicyPitch, a free website originally designed as a crowd-powered platform for ordinary people to create a change in their community.

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina forced CityBusiness out of its offices on the 14th floor of Heritage Plaza, 111 Veterans Memorial Blvd., when the Aug. 29, 2005, storm bore down on the city. The newspaper never stopped printing, despite the storm. Staff members were able to publish the paper out of the offices of The (Maryland) Daily Record, CityBusiness’ Baltimore-based sister publication. Staff members scattered across the United States filed stories to fill the paper’s pages and update the Web site. While Heritage Plaza remained closed – it did not reopen until November 2005 – CityBusiness operated out of offices in Baton Rouge. CityBusiness has since returned to Heritage Plaza.

Events

New Orleans CityBusiness hosts five annual events, all coinciding with special issues of the paper. These include: Women of the Year, Best Places to Work, Health Care Heroes, Leadership in Law and Money Makers.
