In addition, Chuck Clark, the managing editor of the News, tells Talking Biz News, “We’re also launching two strong online elements that will work together – the al.com Birmingham Business Center, which will recap many of our stories and be the online home to breaking business news; and the Business Daily Briefing, an email newsletter that will go out each afternoon, hitting on the big stories of the day and teasing to print enterprise in the next day’s paper.”
