BankNews Media is dedicated to serving the needs of community bankers through a wide range of online and print products and services.

Our flagship publication, BankNews, is the leading publication for community banks throughout the Central States region, encompassing Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin. Western Banking reaches community banking executives in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Complementing these regional publications are two executive newsletters, BankNews Mid-Week and The Bank Board Letter; and Green Banking, a quarterly electronic magazine sent to bankers nationwide.

The company’s Contract Publishing division offers a range of services to state banking associations, from editorial and advertising sales, to design, printing and mailing. Current state publications include California Banker, Florida Banking, Illinois Banker, Texas Banking and Virginia Banking.

Combined, BankNews Media's family of banking magazines covers 28 states and, more important, approximately 70 percent of the U.S. bank market.

The website for BankNews and WesternBanking, is a leading online reference and web portal for the community banking industry, with special emphasis on the Central and Western states.

In addition, BankNews Media has been one of the nation’s most respected publishers of bank directories for more than 50 years. Currently, the company publishes directories for Missouri, Kansas, the Mountain States, Nebraska and Oklahoma, plus the well-respected Texas Banking Red Book.

Last year, the company introduced BankDirectoriesOnline.com and TexasRedBookOnline.com, online versions of the print directories, updated throughout the year and featuring full searchability.

Financial Placements, a division of BankNews Media since 1967, helps banks find the right executives and bankers find career opportunities to fit their goals. And BANKworkforce.com is an online job board, featuring employments opportunities at all levels - from tellers to CEOs.

Finally, the company sponsors several websites:
