Albuquerque paper revises business section

The Albuquerque Journal has made some major changes to its business section.

Mike Murphy, the Journal’s business editor, writes, “Next week, you will see the initial installment of ‘Marshall’s Law,’ a business law column by Marshall Martin, which will appear every other week on Page 3.

“On alternating weeks, you will find ‘TechBytes’ columns by staff reporter Kevin Robinson-Avila.

“Veteran real-estate reporter Richard Metcalf also will be joining our column lineup every other week, and we plan to introduce a regular feature highlighting voluntary contributions made to the community by private businesses and nonprofits.

“We are adding a weekly business calendar, which will spotlight business events of broad interest scheduled for that week.

“‘By the Numbers’ also is a new weekly feature that will take a graphic look at fast facts and interesting statistics on a particular business or industry in New Mexico.

“And we are adding a new listing of federal contracts and patents awarded to New Mexico companies, as well as new products introduced by state businesses, in our expanded Briefcase section.”
