The weekly Las Vegas Business Press and the daily Las Vegas Review-Journal, which are owned by the same company, have combined their staffs under one roof at the daily newspaper, according to Michael Hiesiger, executive editor of the Business Press.
Hiesiger wrote, “Although the move has included some staff changes at the Business Press, combining the two staffs has already helped improve the local business coverage at both the Review-Journal and Business Press. The change has allowed editors at the Business Press and Review-Journal to better coordinate the coverage of news affecting both large and small businesses throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
“A major advantage that has resulted has been the elimination of duplicate efforts when both Business Press and Review-Journal reporters and photographers attended the same event. Without that kind of duplication, our reporters can be spread out further so we can provide even more news about the business community in Southern Nevada to all our readers.
“Other changes — including the introduction of new columns and features — are in the works that will make the Business Press an even more valuable resource for both our readers and our advertisers.”
