The Springfield Business Chronicle is the paper known for breaking business news, real estate information and other financial events that impact the residents of Springfield and all across Illinois.
Our award-winning staff set the standard for quality reporting in the 21st Century and beyond.
Originally formed as a single sheet newsprint more than 100 years ago, the family-owned Chronicle grew with the city offering information on the latest business happenings. Now, we’ve moved from the newsstands and into the digital realm.
The SBC once set the bar for print newspapers. Now we are setting the bar for online reporting. Taking advantage of the current technologies, we offer written articles, podcasts, videos and interactive experiences to bring all of the financial and business news that matters to you. We even have augmented reality and virtual reality content that is under development now.
From the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport expansion to the Henson Robinson Zoo shakeup, we’ve been there. When the news was breaking at the Camp Butler National Cemetery – who was the first to bring the Springfield business community the news? We were. When Chatham small business owners were facing an ugly new regulation, we covered the story. From Spaulding and Riverton to Jerome, Curran and Rochester – we will be there to bring you the news that impacts your shop, store, restaurant and start-up.
Be sure to reach out to us with any information you think needs to be covered by sending us a tip on our contact page here. Feel free to direct it to one of our tenured reporters. Many of you know them by name, and their bios are here if you’d like to learn more about them.
As always, feel free to reach out to me at any time.
Best wishes for a successful year,
Edwin Hammersmith, Managing Editor
