Lisa Monti, the business editor of The Sun Herald in Biloxi, Miss., writes about some new additions and changes to the paper’s Sunday business section.
Monti writes, “The goal is to enhance our coverage and presentation of South Mississippi business news and business people. Here’s what’s new and improved:
- Personnel File, which includes new employees, promotions and other honors, has moved from inside these pages to a more prominent display with photos here on the front of our section. Here you can find out about the career achievements of your colleagues, co-workers and competitors.
- The listing of new restaurants is a hugely popular feature with our readers, especially those who like to be the first to know when something new is opening. The listing of restaurants recently approved by the Mississippi State Health Department is shown city by city, and it includes a brief description of what the new kitchens are turning out. We’ll add some extra details, photos and menus when we can. Just take a look at the variety of offerings in this week’s list — everything from Cajun home cooking to sushi. We’re encouraged by the opening of these new restaurants and hope you’ll support them as you do our other local businesses.
- A collection of economic indicators will be featured every Sunday in Business, so that you can get a quick picture of our sales tax, casino revenue, home sales and unemployment rates. Other charts are in the works to help you keep track of our key indicators.”
