Another way of saying that: The competition reports what happened. We report on what happened — and why it matters to our readers, who are entrepreneurs, CEOs, investors, philanthropists, nonprofit leaders, educators and other influential decision-makers. Before putting pen to paper, we ask ourselves, “What does the boss need to know?” That’s the crux of a Business Observer story.
On top of that, we have an internal mantra of digital first. So while we are a weekly in rhythm, and our print product is important, we prioritize getting news online.
Our business news reporter will take all that in and then build the beat from there, working in sync with the small-but-mighty team of experienced editors and reporters. That could be a $100 million building sale on Monday in Tampa, an inside look/scoop at a new restaurant in Sarasota on Tuesday and a bankruptcy in Fort Myers on Wednesday.
The Business Observer’s business news reporter will track down these stories and more. The goal is to use a combination of digital reporting — databases, public records, county clerks and more — and old-fashioned, person-to-person source building.
