Indianapolis Star to expand Sunday biz coverage

The Indianapolis Star plans to unveil expanded coverage in its Sunday business section, beginning this weekend.

The paper will have several new features in the Sunday section, says business editor Greg Weaver in an e-mail to Talking Biz News. They include expanded tech coverage, a weekly feature on a rising business star under age 40, a peek inside a corporate bigwig’s private office, a behind-closed-doors style reporter’s notebook of intesting biz tidbits and a how-to column focusing on personal finance and career advancement.

Reporter Erika Smith will be writing the “My Office” feature. Dana Knight is handling the “How To” feature, and Ted Evanoff is compiling the “Water Cooler” reporters’ notebook column.

The Star’s business desk has an editor, an assistant editor, seven reporters and two interns. During the week, it has two pages inside the A section.

An announcement of this and other changes at the paper were disclosed Thursday in a publisher’s note on the paper’s Web site.
