How The Tennessean will use USA Today biz news content

Lance Williams, the business editor of The Tennessean in Nashville, writes about what business news content the paper will publish from USA Today.

Williams writes, “Each day, the USA Today section inside The Tennessean will contain at least two pages of national business coverage. One page will be devoted to the biggest business news stories of the day, whether it’s the latest decision from the Federal Reserve or the newest headlines from Twitter or Google. This past week, for instance, USA Today had expanded coverage of the Detroit auto show.

“Meanwhile, the second business page of each day’s section will feature expanded markets coverage. Listings will include a recap of the biggest gainers and losers from the stock market  along with a variety of listings, including top mutual funds, mortgage rates, commodities prices, foreign currency prices and recaps of foreign stock exchanges. There’s also a daily investing Q&A.

“In the weekend USA Today section, there will be additional business content with a special focus on retirement planning.

“All in all, it’s the best return on investment you can find — combining the best in local business coverage with all the markets-related coverage you’ve been asking for.”
