History
The Atlanta Business Chronicle was the second paper founded by publisher Bob Gray in 1978. After talking to civic organizations and introducing the concept, the paper began to grow solidly during its first years. The Atlanta Journal had already existed, so the paper was named Atlanta Business Chronicle instead of Atlanta Business Journal to avoid confusion.

The Chronicle was sold to media giant Scripps Howard Corp in 1986, then sold to American City Business Journals, a company based in Kansas City. Ed Baker became publisher in 1986.

Its parent company, The Atlanta City Business Journals, has grown to more than 40 digital newsrooms across the country, in markets such as Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington D.C., and Miami.
