Tulsa World revamping its business news coverage

Michael Dekker, the new business reporter for the Tulsa World, writes about changes to its coverage.

Dekker writes, “We are bringing back our Business Viewpoint column that allows contributors to submit a first-person op-ed in 400-500 words. We want insight and access to give readers a chance to understand important topics and trends from those experiencing it.

“We also will publish a column by Dave Ramsey, who made his name in personal finance with his radio show and is now writing a column about what he calls Entreleadership. Kim Komando’s column on all things tech will continue.

“Tulsa World Editor Jason Collington will contribute in this new push in business coverage.

“He will have a regular series called Leaders Next Door that offers a question-and-answer format with local leaders who are doing big things.”
