Orange County Register confirms it’s bringing back biz section

The Orange County Register in California confirmed that it’s bringing back its standalone business section.

Talking Biz News reported the details earlier this month.

The Register writes, “The Orange County Register is introducing a new standalone, 4-8 page Business section beginning Oct. 1 that will include daily themes and in-depth reporting on the success stories, lessons learned, tips, trends, growth industries, influential business leaders and rising-star entrepreneurs who define Orange County’s business community.

“The themed sections, which publish Mondays through Saturdays, will contain a mix of must-read local business news and features that influence our professional and personal lives, investments and decision-making. The standalone section replaces the current Business section, which is included within the Register’s News section.

“‘The revamped Business section will connect Orange County industries and trends with the greater business world, and explain with greater depth and context how the news applies or can be applied to our working lives,’ said Ken Brusic, editor of the Register. ‘The quality of the section will be significantly enhanced with richer storytelling, graphics, data, columns and contributions from authoritative voices in the community.'”
