Oregon paper launches new business section

Bill Church, the executive editor at the Salem Statesman Journal in Oregon, writes Sunday about a new monthly business section that the paper is launching.

Church wrote, “Inside Business takes a new approach to the community conversations that trigger the Mid-Valley economy.

“We’ve asked contributors to provide the type of commentary you’d find in well-written executive summaries — high on analysis (and light on promotion). You’re getting a seat at the boardroom table to hear directly from business leaders and analysts.

“We hope Inside Business will be worth holding onto each month. Standing features include:

Roundtable, which offers experts’ answers on a particular issue, such as work-force development.
Executive Summary, a collection of commentaries on different topics.
One-on-One, an interview with a well-known executive. (We figured the governor fit the definition.)”
