Dan Beyers will be the editor of the magazine, which will feature business analysis, commentary, industry trend-watching, profiles of local entrepreneurs and businesses and other business news.

After a three-week free introductory period for all seven-day newspaper subscribers of the Washington Post, Capital Business will switch to a subscription model.

The 52 issues of the year, priced at $49, will be delivered to the subscribers along with Monday's home edition of the Post.
