Florida paper adding Sunday biz section

The Lakeland Ledger newspaper in Florida says that it is adding a business section to its Sunday paper.

A story on its website states, “‘Our readers have told us they want every kind of business news, from local and consumer-oriented to investment advice and economic trends,’ said Ledger Editor Lenore Devore. ‘We added a page two days a week earlier this year. Tomorrow, we’ll add two more pages, giving Business a presence on Sunday so we can keep up to date on technology and delve even deeper into our local business market.’

“Business Sunday will focus on how technology affects most of our lives, with:

  • A weekly review of a mobile app by the information technology experts at DSM Technology in Lakeland.
  • A list of the top downloaded apps of the week.
  • A Tech Q & A column to help you trouble-shoot problems with your computer, email and mobile devices.
  • A feature called Web Winners that will direct you to websites to help you learn more about issues in the news.”
