New biz reporter asks for advice from biz community

Brittany Hoover, the new business reporter at the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal in Texas, asks her readers for advice on what they want to see in terms of business coverage.

Hoover writes, “Please share with me the types of stories you would like to see more of, as well as the business professionals you’d like to know more about. Who do you consider the movers and shakers in Lubbock?

“What local establishment has a story that needs to be told?

“Visit lubbockonline.com and comment on my column, or send me an email at brittany.hoover@lubbockonline.com.

“Let me know about your events. I can’t promise to be at every function in town — business is thriving in Lubbock — but I’ll do my best.

“Now, after asking my questions, I’ll answer some you may have about this new face on the business cover.

“I’ve spent the last six months covering higher education and health for The A-J. Before that, I was a general assignments reporter for The Pine Bluff Commercial in Arkansas.”
