ALM Names Mobley Group Publisher for Miami and Atlanta Properties

NEW YORK - (Business Wire) ALM, a leading media company serving legal and business professionals, today announced that Chris Mobley, publisher of ALM’s Daily Business Review, has been named a group publisher and will add The Daily Report in Atlanta to his responsibilities. Mobley, a Georgia native and resident of Plantation, Fla., will split his time between The Review in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, and The Daily Report in Atlanta. Mobley joined ALM as president of its Florida Division in October 2000. His career spans almost 38 years in the newspaper business, including 17 years as a reporter and editor at The Miami Herald and The Tampa Tribune, as well as a variety of senior management positions in editorial, circulation and advertising at the Miami Herald Publishing Company. He also served as associate publisher/Broward for The Herald. Mobley received his bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Florida.

“I’m looking forward to working with the management teams in South Florida and Atlanta to continue to build on the strong content and brand foundations they have established,” said Mobley. “Both publications have continued to evolve as the media world changes and we see even more opportunities in the future for these brands.”

No decision has been made yet on the hiring of a new publisher of The Daily Report to replace Steven Korn, who is leaving the company. Daily Report advertising director Mischelle Grant, controller Blair Matthews and editor in chief Ed Bean, will oversee day-to-day operations at The Daily Report, reporting to Mobley.

Founded in 1890, The Daily Report is Fulton County’s official legal newspaper, the main source of legal news and information for the greater Atlanta area and the winner of numerous statewide and regional journalism awards. The publication covers the latest news on lawyers, law firms, the courts, state agencies, in-house legal departments and the state legislature, and also publishes related Web sites, reference texts and directories.

Since 1926, South Florida’s most influential and successful leaders have turned to the Daily Business Review as a primary source for business, legal, financial and real estate news. The papers’ readership of almost 35,000 spans Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Broward Counties and the three editions of the Review serve as the official court newspapers for these jurisdictions.
