Telling the story behind the headlines

Mary Huss, the publisher of the San Francisco Business Times, writes about the redesign of the paper.

Huss writes, “This is much more than a redesign. It is a re-imagination of our news products and our organization, how we report and deliver the news, and how we connect with you, our reader.

“Because news doesn’t happen on a weekly cycle, we are a digital-first newsroom. Reporters break news when it happens rather than waiting for the print edition. If you’re not subscribing to our free daily e-news editions every day of the week, you are missing out on important breaking news and developments.

“The weekly edition allows us to add context to the most important breaking stories and tell the story behind the headlines. Our weekly edition will continue to be premium content, paid for by subscribers who get first access to lists, cover stories, profiles of entrepreneurs and leaders, leads and reporters’ takes on the people, trends and transactions that shape the main news of the week.

“Our re-imagined newsroom has brought new roles and job descriptions. Every reporter blogs, finds important new sources through social media, and is expanding skills in video and visual storytelling.”
