Ben Doody, the executive editor of The Omaha World-Herald, writes about the paper’s plans to expand its business news coverage under new business editor Rob McLean.

Doody writes, “He produces a daily Omaha-focused stock market recap that’s already proven to be a hit with readers.

“You’ll see his work soon in many additional places, including an Omaha business newsletter, a reimagined business section in the Sunday print edition, and some video projects that I think you’ll enjoy.

“Rob will be a player/coach, producing work under his own byline and collaborating with World-Herald reporters.

“He’ll also be a point person for a key newsroom partnership. The World-Herald is teaming up with Grow Omaha, whose wall-to-wall digital coverage of the Omaha business world has been a staple for more than 20 years.”
