Reporting about what's important

Elisa Williams, the new business editor at The  Columbian newspaper in Vancouver, Wash., writes Sunday about what she’s like to see in the paper’s business coverage.

Williams writes, “In my new role editing The Columbian’s business section, it will be my first priority to listen closely to you.

“I want our stories to speak to what’s important to you, reflect what’s really happening in your work life and share what you need to know to about business in Southwest Washington to succeed. To that end, I am committed to delivering news and information in any form that’s most useful to you, whether that’s through our Web site, your cell phone, an e-mail or the morning paper.

“I also want The Columbian’s Web site to be the vehicle through which Clark County businesses can listen to each other about what’s changing here, what problems are cropping up and who is coming up with the best solutions.”
