Georgia paper adding to its business coverage

John Gogick of the Augusta Chronicle in Georgia writes about the paper’s plans to expand its business news coverage.

Gogick writes, “We added two pages from The Wall Street Journal in each Sunday Business section earlier this year. Based on the feedback we received, this was a very popular addition.

“Starting Monday, we will return the Business coverage to a full page during the week.

Tim Rausch continues to spearhead our business coverage. Tim has been covering business for more than 11 years, first at a newspaper in Lima, Ohio, before we brought him to Augusta, where he has covered local business for six years.

“‘Seeing people succeed and make money,’ Tim said when asked about what he likes about covering business.

“Finding stories and columns on how to maximize your money will be a key component to the expanded space devoted to the Business page each day. Those columns will come from writers at newspapers such as The Dallas Morning News, the Detroit Free Press and the Chicago Tribune, in addition to some from The Associated Press.”
