A balance of good and bad with business news

Connie Coyne, the reader advocate for the Salt Lake Tribune, writes Saturday about how the paper has tried to balance the recent bad economic news with other stories.

Coyne writes, “The staff of the Money section is doing its best to offer all of the economic news from the world, the nation and the state. Some of it will be good; some of it will be bad.

As Business Editor Michael Limon noted, ‘We can’t say ‘let’s not write about bankruptcies, let’s not write about the stock markets.’

“‘A one-day headline in the Tribune should not panic people.’

“As the news on trouble in the world economies kept coming recently, the Money section folks realized stories needed to be easily available to readers, so they have gathered the latest news on the economy, as well as Q&As, stock quotes and more at The Salt Lake Tribune‘s economic and personal finance page on our Web site. I took a quick count of those stories on Friday afternoon and there were 40 of them — some of them good news, some of them bad news — and some of them filled with great tips on riding out this economic tsunami.”
