7 Wednesday, September 10, 1986, THE WORLD, Coos Bay, Ore Page 11 Astrograph By Bernice Bede Osol Journal i editor to quit PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) For the second time in less than six months, the Portland Business Journal has lost its top officer, with the resignation of Steve Woodward, the business newspapers general manager. Woodward, S3, confirmed Monday that he had accepted a position as business editor of the Hartford Courant, Connecticut's largest newspaper with a daily circulation of 220,000 No successor has been named for Woodward, a four-year employee of American City Business Journals, the Portland weekly's Kansas City-based owner. Last April Woodward succeeded Thomas Stearns, the Business Journal's second publisher. Stearns had replaced founding-manager Thomas Higgins, who left his job to pursue private consulting opportunities.

Stearns was dismissed after less than a year by the Journal's Kansas City owners. He is associate publisher of the Daily Journal of Commerce. The Portland Business Journal, now in its third year of publication, got off to a quick start and achieved a circulation of just over 10,000 paid subscriptions. Circulation gains during the last 18 months, however, have been negligible. Woodward said that the company had sought to improve advertising income with a more aggressive pricing program.

Woodward said that for the six-month period ending in August the paper's revenues totaled $685,000, compared with $831,000 for the same period last year. Woodward aaid he could not disclose profit or loss for the publication, although he said that the Business Journal's corporate parent was profitable He said the paper had dropped its rate for advertisers who buy space in more than one edition. Volume has doubled recently," he said. CYour birthday Sept. 11, 19M An unexpected change, which could prove to be a blessing in disguise, may occur the year ahead.
