Providence daily revamps Sunday business section

John Kostrzewa, the business editor of the Providence Journal, writes about how the paper is changing its Sunday business section to give it more of a local focus.

Kostrzewa writes, “Each week, the section will include a developed story about a Rhode Island business, industry or economic trend. There will also be a feature, Data Pulse, that keeps a finger on where the state is headed. And there will be an interview with a small business owner or advocate, in a question-and-answer format, about their business or industry.

“We’ll continue to offer regular features such as People in Business, Job Opportunities and Speakers’ Table.

“I’ll write a column with my perspective on business issues and what’s going on in Rhode Island.

“For investors, we will continue to offer Money & Markets, including the prior week’s stock market indexes, the performance of 30 local stocks that have a headquarters or significant presence here, and the returns for widely traded stocks. In response to readers’ requests, we’re adding a half-page of the most widely traded stocks and mutual funds.”
