Topeka paper expands Sunday biz coverage

Gregg Ireland, the publisher of the Topeka Capital-Journal, writes about how the paper is expanding its Sunday business coverage.

Ireland writes, “What did we learn from the survey? We learned our readers really appreciate our city and state government coverage and political insight. Our readers also really like our local courts, crime, education, and collegiate and preps sports coverage.

“The addition of a local Sunday business page last year also was a welcome one for our readers. In fact, you indicated you want more business coverage and additional personal finance information. With that, I would like to welcome you to what awaits inside today’s edition of The Capital-Journal.

“We have moved our business page to a section front and added pages from the Wall Street Journal — two or three each Sunday. Today, we debut two and a half pages of personal finance information from the Wall Street Journal. I think the Wall Street Journal’s internationally recognized brand of financial insight will benefit each of us as we navigate our individual needs.”
