The search to replace WSJ Sunday content

Jon Gogick, the executive editor of the Augusta Chronicle in Georgia, writes about his paper’s search for content to replace Wall Street Journal Sunday content, which Dow Jones discontinued.

Gogick writes, “Our goal was to find pages that could help you stretch your weekly paycheck and turn your pocketbook into a nest egg for retirement.

“After months of conference calls and reviewing prototypes and debating the merits of the various offerings, we decided on a solution.

“The new pages will be unveiled next Sunday. They will be heavy on personal finance with some investing and stock information. They will have a more visual approach to presenting information.

“The pages will offer questions and answers from industry leaders, a closer look at companies driving the stock market and insights into the latest technology.

“‘The pages will offer advice for small business owners to make them better,’ said Tim Rausch, who has been the business editor at The Augusta Chronicle for seven years. ‘The pages will offer a lot of information in an appetizing nugget.”
