Additions to St. Louis biz coverage

Andre Jackson, the business editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, writes Sunday that the paper is making additions to its Sunday personal finance coverage as well as its business coverage during the week.

Jackson wrote, “We’ve added a story examining key questions in personal finance. We’re also asking local financial specialists to answer a question posed each week by a reader.

“We’ve also increased space to more consistently present your favorite money columnists.

“We’re giving you more business content in areas other than personal finance, too.

“Starting Friday, we’re launching a weekly page dedicated to business innovation. In today’s competitive business environment, it’s increasingly important for companies to work smarter, more efficiently and faster. Our innovation page will showcase best practices being used by area companies. We’ll be relying on local businesspeople and business schools to share cutting-edge work they’re doing in this regard.

“Also starting next Friday, we’re rolling out a revamped real estate and construction page. We’ll bring you more news about this important business sector.”
