History
In 1978, Marsha Feldman (later Marengo) started the paper as the Business Community Journal. In 1980, she changed the name to the Orange County Business Journal. The paper was bought over by its current owner: CBJ, L.P. Publisher Richard Reisman and Editor Rick Reiff, now the paper’s executive editor and a Pulitzer Prize recipient, joined soon after, leading a period of rapid growth for the paper.[3][4]
In 2000, Michael Lyster, the paper’s former technology reporter, returned from Investor Business Daily to become the editor of the Orange County Business Journal. Jerry Sullivan replaced Lyster until spring 2017,[5] when he was replaced by Pete Weitzner, who ran the broadcast-journalism program at Chapman University since 1997.[6] Weitzner was the 2012 Sky Dunlop winner, an honor given by the Orange County Press Club for lifetime service to journalism and the community.[7] Hannah Mitchell is the Orange County Business Journal's managing editor.[8][9]
