Julia Anderson, the business editor at The Columbian newspaper in Vancouver, Wash., writes Sunday about how her job has changed in the past year.
Anderson wrote, “I’ve been a print newspaper business reporter and editor for a long time, writing stories and assigning photos to appear in the next day’s business section. One deadline came at the end of each 24-hour news cycle. That changed for me this year with the debut of The Columbian’s B2B business news magazine and launch of The Columbian’s BusinessTODAY daily e-newsletter.
“Reporting and producing news is now ongoing minute-to-minute. We put breaking news on our www.columbian.com Web site as soon as we get it. BusinessTODAY offers a free roundup of news and stock prices within minutes of the market close via e-mail to subscribers, Monday through Friday at about 2 o’clock. That’s in addition to meeting the print deadline for the next day’s newspaper’s business section.”
Later, she wrote, “As editor, I coordinate content for all three products. It is exciting to respond to the changing dynamics of the information industry. We see business news as more important than ever and we now have multiple ways to get it to you. I would also add that my job is more fun. No really!”
