South Carolina paper beefs up biz coverage

Paul Osmundson, the editor of the York County Herald in Rock Hill, S.C., writes Sunday about the paper’s plans to expand its business coverage.

Osmundson writes, “Our new business editor, Don Worthington, has been with us for several weeks. He’s met several business owners as well as local leaders. He’s learned about our local economy, its opportunities and its problems.

“Don is a veteran journalist. He’s a former sports reporter, city government reporter and editor. He most recently was business editor at The Fayetteville Observer in North Carolina.

“During his time here in Rock Hill, he’s written a wide range of business stories, from profiles to economic trends.

“Today, Don starts a new column called, ‘Your Business.’ The column will report on business achievements such as promotions and honors received by individuals or businesses. It also will include information about new businesses, expansions and relocations.

“We’re also expanding our Thursday business page to provide more stories about local businesses and how national business developments affect York, Chester and Lancaster counties.”
