The Lobby, a new site from a partnership between The Nashua Telegraph and the New Hampshire Business Review, will launch Oct. 18 and cover the intersection of business and politics.
Ashley Smith of the Telegraph writes that The Lobby “will draw on the expertise of veteran reporters and contributors, including The Telegraph’s Kevin Landrigan and NHBR’s Jeff Feingold and Bob Sanders, to provide in-depth, lively news coverage and analysis.
“‘The concept behind The Lobby was to bring additional focus and edge to state political and business coverage – two issues that have significant and unique audiences,’ said Terry Williams, president and publisher of The Telegraph. ‘New Hampshire, because of its size and access, offers closer-than-usual relationships between politics and commerce. Legislative and business decisions don’t necessarily track along partisan lines. Understanding these relationships, understanding how decisions get made requires experience, connections and knowing where to look and to whom to talk.’
“Further, Williams said, The Lobby will present this information in a lively, spirited way that will differ from traditional news coverage.
“‘It’s important stuff, to be sure,’ Williams said. ‘But our approach will be anything but dull. We’ll be full of surprises.'”
