Fort Worth finally has its own business journal, and almost nobody has told its companies yet. The Fort Worth Business Journal launched on 1 October 2026, digital only, with its own newsroom covering Tarrant County, and a weekday newsletter running since 5 October. Search for how to get featured in it today and you will find nothing useful: no guide, no route, only doors to other cities' journals and to other Fort Worth publications entirely. That gap is an opening. This page explains the paid route completely: how your company gets a genuine article in the new Fort Worth Business Journal, what the article actually is, and the one email that starts it, while its first year is still being written.
The short answer: yes, your company can be published in the Fort Worth Business Journal
Yes. Your company can be published in the Fort Worth Business Journal through a paid, labelled article placement. This is not pitching a story to a journalist and hoping, and it is not the Fort Worth Business Press, the city's long established business paper, or the Star-Telegram, or Fort Worth Inc. It is a specific article about your company, in the new journal built for Tarrant County, reviewed before it is published, and permanent once it is live.
We hold a placement arrangement covering this journal, so the route is open and defined. You need a company with a story worth an article, and one email to us. The sections below give you the whole picture before you decide: what the article gets you, what it looks like, who it fits, how publishing works, and what it will not do.

Picture it: your company name in Tarrant County's own journal, from its first year
Imagine the checking moment, a month from now. The lender weighs your application and opens the Fort Worth Business Journal, the new journal on her morning list. The Alliance logistics partner vetting your company does the same. The client choosing between you and a Dallas firm does the same, and what they find is a published article about your company in the journal built for this county alone. Your next proposal goes out with that link inside it, and your website carries the journal's name in its "As Featured On" row.
That is what a business journal placement is bought for, and here it carries a bonus no older journal can offer. This publication is new, and its first year is when Tarrant County's business community forms its habits around it. Companies featured in that first year become part of the journal's founding landscape, the names its readers meet first. Consumer coverage says people have heard of you. An article here says the community you sell to, borrow from and partner with has you on its own pages, early, when being early still means something. The page stays live every time the checking moment comes around again.
Why the Fort Worth Business Journal, specifically
Fort Worth's economy has outgrown being treated as Dallas's western half, and the numbers say so plainly. AllianceTexas, the 27,000 acre master planned development in north Fort Worth, is estimated at 142.9 billion dollars in regional economic impact across 36 years, 12.9 billion dollars of it in 2025 alone, with 602 companies directly supporting 73,134 jobs. The Texas Comptroller recognises it as the primary inland port for the southwestern United States, and Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport ranks among the nation's 25 largest cargo airports, with an Amazon Air hub. The aerospace, defence and security cluster, including Lockheed Martin and Bell, accounts for 5.4 percent of area employment and grew 27 percent between 2016 and 2023. Bell is developing a 632 million dollar manufacturing facility for its V-280 aircraft, creating 520 jobs.
The journal itself is a working newsroom, not a placeholder: editor Julia Masters leads it, with Seth Bodine, who covered Fort Worth for years as the Dallas Business Journal's Fort Worth reporter, and reporter Samantha Thornfelt. The supporting figures sit underneath, stated honestly: our outlet directory records the business journals' platform at a Domain Authority of 91 with 7.8 million monthly organic visits across the journals' site. Those are platform figures, not a claim about this new edition alone. The benefit was never raw reach. It is reach into the exact room where your next client, lender or partner is sitting, in the county where your business actually happens.
What a sponsored article in the Fort Worth Business Journal actually looks like
Precision matters here, because a new publication invites vague promises, and vague offers are where buyers get hurt.
The article is a full article page inside the Fort Worth Business Journal on the journal's site. The journal is digital only, so the article is an online placement by the publication's own design, not a lesser substitute for print. The edition is named and fixed before you pay anything: your article runs in this journal, not in an unspecified journal somewhere in a network. It is labelled as paid content, under the journal's rules. The journal reviews the article before publishing it, so nothing goes live unreviewed. Once published, the placement is permanent; it does not come down at the end of a campaign window, because there is no campaign window attached to it.
The article links to your company, and those links follow the journal's paid content rules and carry sponsored attributes. A plain editorial dofollow link is not part of a paid placement, and a seller who promises you one should be asked hard questions. The placement is also separate from the other Fort Worth publications a buyer might confuse it with: the Fort Worth Business Press is an established paper with its own long running programmes, and Fort Worth Inc. and the Star-Telegram are their own outlets. None of their history, awards or audiences are this journal's, and this page claims none of them. What you are buying is one thing, stated plainly: a reviewed, labelled, permanent article about your company in the Fort Worth Business Journal.
Fort Worth is not Dallas: why this edition is the whole point
Dallas and Fort Worth share a metroplex and almost nothing else that matters to a buyer. They have separate business communities, separate deal flow, and now separate business journals. A company whose customers, lenders and partners sit in Tarrant County gains nothing from an article in the Dallas journal, however well established that journal is, because the checking moment happens with Fort Worth readers. Until October 2026, Fort Worth companies had no journal of their own and were routed to Dallas by default. That default is over.
Here, the market is chosen by you, confirmed before payment, and printed in the article's home: the Fort Worth Business Journal. Companies selling across the whole metroplex sometimes place in both, and if Dallas is genuinely your market too, the Dallas Business Journal guide covers that edition on its own page. Readers weighing several markets can find the wider picture in The Business Journals guide, which covers how the city journals work as a family of choices. The buying decision, though, is always one market at a time, and for a Tarrant County company it is this one.
Who this is built for, and who should skip it
This placement is built for Tarrant County companies whose next big yes comes from another business: logistics and industrial firms around Alliance, defence and aerospace suppliers, construction and commercial real estate companies, and professional practices of every kind serving Fort Worth rather than Dallas. It also fits companies elsewhere that sell into Tarrant County and need Fort Worth's own journal, not a Dallas byline, in their proof set when a buyer here checks them.
It does not fit a purely consumer business chasing foot traffic, which needs its customers' eyes rather than the business community's. And it does not fit anyone expecting an article to deliver instant sales by itself; a journal placement compounds credibility over every deal that follows it, and it should be bought with that horizon. If you are comparing outlet types before deciding, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content walks through the fit honestly.
How publishing works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your company name, your website, and what the article should say. That email is the entire application.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm your company and topic fit the journal, and you receive your individual quote for the Fort Worth Business Journal. The factors behind it are in the next section.
Step 3: The article. You supply the article, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way it is prepared for the journal's review.
Step 4: Journal review. The journal reviews the article before publishing. Nothing about your company goes live in its pages unreviewed.
Step 5: Your live link. The article publishes in the Fort Worth Business Journal, and the live link is yours: for proposals, for your site's press row, and for every checking moment from then on.
Your protection, in full, before you pay anything: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing.
What decides the price of a Fort Worth Business Journal article
There is no printed price for this placement, and the reason is structural, not tactical. The price is decided by the market edition chosen, by the article's scope and whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, and by the placement specifics of your article. Questions about what it costs to advertise in Fort Worth point at display advertising, a different product bought a different way, often in a different publication entirely. This page prices one thing only: the sponsored article in the Fort Worth Business Journal.
So every placement is quoted individually, by email, with no obligation attached to asking. Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model behind business journal quotes in full. What matters at this step is simple: the figure you receive is the figure for your company, your article, and this journal, and the refund protection above stands behind it.
The honest limits, and how to start
The limits, in a few lines. The article is labelled paid content; it is not editorial coverage and it is not the journal's newsroom endorsing your company. It guarantees no search ranking, no traffic figure and no clients. The journal is new, and this page will not dress it in a borrowed history: what it offers is a real newsroom, a county of its own, and a first year still open to the companies that move now. What it guarantees is the thing itself: a permanent, credible article about your company in the journal Tarrant County's decision makers are adopting, published under the journal's own review.
If that is the asset your company is missing, the next step is one email. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your company name, your website, and the story the article should tell. You will receive a fit confirmation and your individual quote. Readers comparing the two sides of the metroplex can also read the Dallas Business Journal guide; our services page covers the wider picture of what we arrange. This placement begins with that email.
