Sports reporter moves to biz desk, asks for help

Haskel Burns, a sports reporter for the Hattiesburg American in Mississippi, is moving to the business news desk, and he needs some help.

Burns writes, “Because I’m new to the whole news side of things, I don’t really know what’s going on in the Pine Belt’s business world just yet. I need to make some acquaintances, see some new faces, and get an idea of what’s going on in the Hub City and beyond.

“So if any of you out there are business owners or managers and want to promote an upcoming event, let me know.

“Or if anybody out there knows about a new business opening, or even an old one closing, contact me about that as well.

“If your business is moving, expanding or going through any kind of change, I’ll be glad to talk to you about that too.”
