John Kostrzewa, the business editor of the Providence Journal, writes about how the paper is changing its Sunday business section to give it more of a local focus.
Kostrzewa writes, “Each week, the section will include a developed story about a Rhode Island business, industry or economic trend. There will also be a feature, Data Pulse, that keeps a finger on where the state is headed. And there will be an interview with a small business owner or advocate, in a question-and-answer format, about their business or industry.
“We’ll continue to offer regular features such as People in Business, Job Opportunities and Speakers’ Table.
“I’ll write a column with my perspective on business issues and what’s going on in Rhode Island.
“For investors, we will continue to offer Money & Markets, including the prior week’s stock market indexes, the performance of 30 local stocks that have a headquarters or significant presence here, and the returns for widely traded stocks. In response to readers’ requests, we’re adding a half-page of the most widely traded stocks and mutual funds.”
