In 2012, the CJN launched a digital edition of the paper, which is available on Thursday, a day earlier than the print subscription. In June 2010, the Cleveland Jewish News Foundation launched the CJN Archive: a searchable online database of the complete collection of the Cleveland Jewish News, which has been published weekly since 1964. Before its creation, past CJN editions were available only on more than 200,000 pages of newsprint in large, heavy, bound volumes or on microfilm reels, to which access is limited. In 2008, the Cleveland Jewish Publication Co. launched LinQ2 Communications, a custom media division. Two of LinQ2's signature publications, Balanced Living and Museum and Galleries of Ohio and Beyond, are found on newsstands and at various locations throughout Ohio. In 2014 the company reverted to using Cleveland Jewish Publication Co. or CJPC as the name of the publishing group.
