First up on our front pages is Monday’s Philadelphia Inquirer business section.
Faithful Talking Biz News readers will remember that the Inquirer’s biz section last year had a controversial change when it began running ads on its masthead and allowed a local bank to sponsor its Philly Inc. column on the front page.
As for Monday’s section, business editor Tony Gnoffo says, “The Monday section promotes something cool: Today we debut, at 1 p.m. eastern, a daily video Web cast called Philadelphia Business Today. It’s three to five minutes of mostly local breaking business news, short interviews and even field reports that we produce starting at about 10 a.m. and post by 1 p.m.
“It’s hosted by my former deputy business editor, Mike Armstrong. We always knew Mike was a hard-working, walking encyclopedia of Philadelphia business information, but we didn’t think anyone could be so productive: He’s writing a blog that he updates several times a day, writes much of the script for and hosts the new daily biz show, and expands on the best of the blog entries for a daily column.”
