LA Times revamps business coverage

Los Angeles Times publisher Austin Beutner wrote the following about the paper’s business coverage:

Beginning today, The Times is reinvigorating our coverage of California business. Our mission: to chronicle what is happening in the Los Angeles and California economies and their role in national and international markets. We will bring you the business news of the day and explain what it means.

We will take you inside the big companies of today and start-ups that could be the big companies of tomorrow. We will introduce you to innovators and entrepreneurs, movers and shakers, workers and executives, winners and losers.

The reimagined Business section will include a new feature called Cutting Edge, spotlighting innovation; The Agenda, a weekly report highlighting issues in California’s economy; a technology column and gadget review; a regular Q&A on California economic trends and trendsetters; expanded coverage of residential real estate in our Hot Property report; and a California Inc. email newsletter that will alert you to important business news in the week ahead and to stories that should be on your radar.
