South Carolina paper adds Sunday Money section

The Greenwood Index-Journal in South Carolina has added a Sunday financial news section called Money.

A story on its website states, “The Money section – Section E in the newspaper – includes stories about business, technology, retail sales, banking, finance, tourism, real estate, environmental issues and energy. It’ll include profiles on businesses and their leaders, entrepreneurs, small businesses, upcoming economic projects and new businesses.

“‘This section is an opportunity for us to highlight businesses and the economy in the Lakelands,’ executive editor Richard S. Whiting said. ‘The Lakelands has a bustling business sector, and this section will cover that topic and more.’ The Money section is also open to submissions. Businesses that recently won awards, promoted or hired employees or expanded services can be included in the section’s Business Briefs sections. New businesses can also be highlighted in the section.

“The Money section is also the new home for Dave Ramsey’s popular Dave Says column, which offers financial advice. Property transfers, permits and business licenses will also be included in the section.”
