Knoxville biz writers now blogging

Bill Brewer, the business editor of the Knoxville News-Sentinel, writes Sunday that his business reporters will now begin blogging.

Brewer wrote, “Following Business writer Michael Silence’s lead with his popular “No Silence Here” Web log, reporters Carly Harrington, Andrew Eder and Josh Flory are launching business blogs that will provoke discussion on business issues, invite reader interaction and inform the business community.

“This comes as we kick up the Web sites for the News Sentinel’s daily Business section and the Greater Knoxville Business Journal by offering more financial news, features, stock market listings, market analysis and ways to interact with readers.

“Carly’s blog, ‘The Bottom Line,’ will complement her Friday columns and offer a peek inside issues she covers, including the goings-on of small business in the Knoxville area, insight into the competitive health-care arena and a look at the growing media production business.

“Andrew’s blog is called ‘Connected’ and is created to keep readers wired to the latest developments in technology, telecommunications and energy, and to connect Knoxville’s active tech community. ‘Connected’ will include links to compelling stories and Web sites, analysis on local events, source material and content from readers.

“Josh is calling his blog ‘Property Scope,’ and it will focus on the Knoxville real estate scene and the people who are part of it, including developers, bankers, brokers, investors and economic development officials.”
