Sun-Times launching new Money section

The Chicago Sun-Times has launched a new Money section.

Money editor Subrina Hudson writes, “So it’s significant the Sun-Times has taken steps to be community first and invest in its newsroom. That’s why I joined the paper as its Money editor in May — without ever having visited Chicago or Illinois. After 11 years of business reporting and editing in Southern California and Nevada, I saw this as an opportunity to help reimagine business coverage at a newsroom that cares deeply about Chicago and has a long history of holding those in power accountable.

“This means going beyond the traditional view of business news to explore the way money intersects with the issues our audiences care most about: housing, crime, politics, equity and more. We want to help readers understand why business should matter to them and give them the tools needed to make better decisions about their money.

Our future coverage will look at ways Chicagoans can better manage their money, stories that explore how neighborhoods are changing and the economic engine of every city — small businesses.”
