Crain's Cleveland unveils redesigned site

Brian Tucker of Crain’s Cleveland Business writes Monday about its redesigned Web site.

Tucker writes, “Regulars will recognize our Daily News area as well as our popular ‘Going Places’ section of job promotions and our ‘news by industry’ area that allows you to easily scan news by economic sector.

“But we know that a regular criticism of the news media — exacerbated by the harsh economy of the past two years — is that reporting focuses on the negative. So we created ‘Bright Spots,’ a gathering of stories about positive happenings in our regional businesses.

“Our site now houses the Ohio News Roundup, which scans the daily and business newspapers across Ohio each day to give you a broad look at what’s happening in the Buckeye State that’s of interest to business readers.

“Our ‘Stocks of Local Interest’ button on the home page not only gives you the latest data on 60 local companies, but it gives you handy links to our most recent stories about each.”
