The Daily Mustang, a student-run website produced out of the journalism division at Southern Methodist University as part of its convergence newsroom, launched Wednesday a business news section to its Web site.
Its business coverage provides insight into how the economy is affecting the SMU community; guidance for students on managing their personal finances; and news about large North Texas companies and their impact on the people who live in the region. Current stories on the site include earnings for local companies such as Radio Shack and A.H. Belo.
“Dollars and Sense just launched yesterday, and we’re very excited by its possibilities,” said Mark Vamos, the O’Neil Chair in Business Journalism at SMU, in an e-mail to Talking Biz News.
Vamos is the former editor in chief of Fast Company, and he was an editor at BusinessWeek magazine.

Chris: Thanks for posting. We're proud of our business journalism program at SMU and it's growing with the addition of this business portal on http://www.smudailymustang.com. The Web site is student-run but based in the journalism division. The student newspaper actually is the SMU Daily Campus. However, as a result of our business journalism program, it also has a weekly business page.

SMU has a strong conservative Republican bias, both institutionally and in the student body. And it's true they're only college kids. But I'm willing to bet they'll do a better job than the joke that is CNBC.
