A new business journal will soon debut to serve the Fayetteville metropolitan statistical area. 

The Greater Fayetteville Business Journal is set to launch May 28, according to a news release.

Coverage in print and digital offerings will range from in-depth stories on economic trends
and opportunities to profiles of new companies and people in new positions, the release stated.

“Businesspeople have proven, time and time again, to be key players in doing the hard work to help our region thrive,” publisher Marty Cayton said in the release. “We look forward to offering entrepreneurs what they deserve – vital information, support that provides better accountability on issues affecting businesses, recognition and coverage of what makes our region a great place for business.”

Cayton has been a businessman in the Fayetteville MSA for over 30 years in the technology industry. For the new endeavor, Cayton partnered with the Greater Wilmington Business Journal, which is owned by Rob Kaiser and Robert Preville. 

The Greater Fayetteville Business Journal's executive editor is David Kennard, who previously worked at a variety of publications, including newspapers in Summerville, South Carolina, and Provo, Utah. 

“We’ve seen the local business community as a whole weather the recent economic challenges better than many in the region, as well as the state and the rest of the nation," Kennard said in the release. "The team here at the Greater Fayetteville Business Journal looks forward to sharing the story of local businesses and entrepreneurs.”
