Indianapolis Star expanding Sunday biz coverage

Alvie Lindsay of The Indianapolis Star writes Sunday about how the Gannett paper plans to expand its Sunday business coverage.

Lindsay writes, “The new Sunday ‘Business & Jobs’ section will emphasize coverage of an area we know is increasingly important to our readers in Central Indiana — employment, the workplace and the economy.

“We will continue to explore various business topics  in-depth,  but this also gives us an opportunity to roll out some new features. Here’s a look at some of what we’re planning — and a request for a bit of help from you:

•”  On the Move. Want to know who landed the CEO job at a local company? Or, who has been promoted to that cool new job? Or, maybe join in celebrating the retirement of a local business leader. On the Move will be the weekly one-stop place to catch up on personnel comings and goings in local business.

“•  5 Questions. Each week, we will pose five questions to someone interesting in the business community — a leader, an entrepreneur, an innovator — and allow that person to share his or her wisdom and advice.

“•  Notably New. This weekly feature will spread the word on something new — typically a retail business or a commercial development. But — just as the name says — we want it to be notable. Not just any new shoe store or the latest law firm is going to make the cut. We’ll be emphasizing significant developments, businesses that are new to the area or companies that do something or sell something in a different way.”
