Sacramento biz journal launches new home page

The Sacramento Business Journal, an American City Business Journals paper, has launched a new home page.

Editor Jack Robinson writes, “The site redesign reflects our increasing emphasis on publishing the news you need as it happens, all day long. Much of the page will be dominated by the newest stories — including many exclusives about businesses and economic news in the capital region.

“We’re doing away with the rotating carousel of images at the top to present a cleaner, simpler display of images keyed to stories on the site. And subscriber-only stories will be highlighted in a box at the top of the page.

“Many other features — including the Business Pulse survey and list of most popular stories on the site — will remain much as they are.

“We hope you find the new home page more accessible and useful, and we want to hear from you.”
