Colorado Springs paper adds standalone biz section for three days

Joe Hight of the Colorado Springs Gazette writes about the changes that the paper is undertaking as part of a redesign.

Hight writes, “So during the next week, you’ll see some obvious changes, including:

“- The Business section will be a separate section with a new feature called Pikes Peak Bottom Line on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, the Business section will be in order directly behind our local and state coverage instead of being on the back page. On those days, that section will be called ‘Local, State & Business.’

“- The second page of the Local & State or Local, State & Business section will become the ‘Who We Are’ page with stories and special features about the history and culture of and interesting facts about our region. Columnist Bill Vogrin writes about it today in his “Side Streets/Who We Are” column.”
