About Prague Business Journal

The New Prague Business Journal is a news and opinion website founded in 2017. Our site features aggregated, syndicated, translated and original content focusing on the key political and financial trends taking place in today’s Czech Republic and related news in the European community.

 

The website was founded by Al Hoffman, a US-born expatriate media entrepreneur who recently retired to live in the Czech Republic.  PBJ welcomes a diversity of voices to publish, and those interested in submitting contributions, please visit our page detailing submission guidelines.

 

MASTHEAD:

 

Al Hoffman – founder and executive editor 

 

Born in Cincinatti, Ohio, Albert Hoffman was been responsible for the development of corporate communications platforms for several Fortune 100 companies in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, including the design, marketing strategy, and launch of five different trade magazines. Following extended postings to Switzerland, Hungary, and Russia, he retired with his wife to live in Prague, Czech Republic in 2014 – and thus PBJ was born out of spare time and a growing interest in following Czech public life.

Petr Dubinsky is a Prague-based reporter and blogger focused on covering politics, society, and sports, among other interests.

 

William Malcolm – business and opinion contributor
