Dallas Morning News revamps biz coverage

Bob Mong, the editor of the Dallas Morning News, writes Sunday about changes in the paper’s business coverage.

Mong writes, “On Tuesday, we introduce a redesigned Business section with a cleaner look and expanded content. A year in the making, the section is the work of a team of journalists and lots of good ideas from our readers.

“Look for a retooled markets page aimed at being more helpful to investors. Renamed Your Portfolio, you will find it more analytical and forward thinking. Readers also asked for bigger type, and Your Portfolio delivers.

“Readers also asked us to expand business and economic reports from around the nation and world. Beginning Tuesday, readers can find this new approach anchored on Page 2.

“We also are reintroducing Economy and You on Page 3 six days a week. This page features Kiplinger, one of the best sources for pocketbook advice. Michelle Singletary’s personal finance column will appear in Economy and You twice a week. I expect both to be hits.

“Sunday’s Business section features expanded space. ‘Your Sunday Business section will be fatter,’ noted business editor Dennis Fulton. ‘We’re keeping everything you say you like about the old section, plus newly expanded reports on personal technology and entrepreneurs.'”
