Turning The Page On 850
Expanding business news and economic coverage online

For more than 17 years, the award-winning 850 Magazine has been capturing the essence of Northwest Florida’s vibrant region to share with you, our readers.
Northwest Florida is home to one of the states brightest and most promising economies, influenced be emerging industries, global investments, eco-friendly enterprise, new real estate offerings and leading-edge research and development.
850 is dedicated to telling the dynamic story of the region’s exciting role in state, national, and international marketplace, and we are evolving the way in which we report and educate the communities that we serve.
We keep our finger on the pulse of Northwest Florida’s ever-growing opportunities, listening closely to our readers as we continue to fulfill our mission: to educate, inspire, and support the communities we serve. To strengthen that commitment, we are investing in our digital offerings, so the latest developments and business headlines are delivered directly to your inbox through our robust newsletter and website on a bi-weekly basis.
Our goals are to keep you informed from the earliest stages as our region’s business landscape evolves. At the same time, we are refining our print publication to focus on more thoughtful, in-depth reporting. By condensing our print schedule, we can produce a comprehensive annual issue dedicated to deeper investigations and long-form storytelling, with our first annual edition arriving this December.
We will be supplementing our annual print edition by including economic updates in our two sister magazines—Tallahassee Magazine and Emerald Coast Magazine with a new special business section labeled 850. You will see this new section begin in May for Tallahassee Magazine and June for Emerald Coast Magazine. These sister publications are currently published bi-monthly.
We are thrilled to continue expanding our reporting and deepening our connection with readers under the leadership of our talented editor, Dr. David Ekrut. I’ve had the honor of knowing Ekrut for over a decade, and his deep knowledge of our region, economic development, innovation, and technology places our research and reporting in some of the most capable hands in Florida.
I am honored to continue to serve you, our readers, in an exciting new way. Visit 850businessmagazine.com/connect-with-us to sign up for a complimentary subscription to our newsletter to continue the journey with me.
